Emily Zerrenner, ACRLog, May 01, 2026 This effort goes about the way you would expect it to: (the) entire class plan was to bring down carts of books related to the class topic, have the students pick something they were interested in, and then read for about an hour. So they read, they fidgeted, and in the end, everyone marvelled at how great an hour of reading was.
And sure, I get it. But what struck me is that when I was in school I used to get into trouble for reading in the classroom. The books were apparently a distraction from the much more important (and oh so boring) stuff happening at the front of the room. For the rest of my life, I've always had something to read with me (more usually digital these days) under the desk. It has always been one of the differences between me and the people who just did what they were told. Web: [Direct Link] [This Post]
