[QUOTE="darkshadows38, post: 318748, member: 19"] i didn't mind doing that with books in school but than i think it depends on the books we also did the same with To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) and it's among my favorites my brother however back in they did it for school as well i even remember him renting the VHS copy at our local Video store as well and he hated the book. i love it though. i think the reason you hate those books is partly due to the fact that maybe they weren't your type of books anyways you normally would read? or am i wrong? a good example of how i was at school History was never something i gave a damn about in school so therefore when i would get a D- i'd Celebrate cause i actually passed whatever test i was given. now Science was my worst subject that went right in one ear and out the other. so of course i didn't understand any of that crap and i still don't now i think Science is real unlike all these douche bags out there today who claim it's fake. just cause i'm bad at science and have no interest in it does not mean it's fake ya know? a good example on if i am interested in it? i'm a Huge Edgar Allen Poe fan due to the Roger Corman films of the 60's. so in high school my Senior Year we were given an Assignment on to do a report on him well i can still remember my teacher telling me i was the only one in Class who got an A on it. what schools need to start doing is have these teachers pay attention to their students and maybe assign books that they may think this person or that one will like to read. I enjoyed of Mice and Men as well when we did that one but i cannot tell you how many people i've talked to online or off who had to do that one and hated it. why? because the book was one they just found boring as hell. when i was in school i did read a lot anyways but i hated book reports and it always really annoyed the hell out of me that they'd give us books 9 times out of 10 i cared nothing about at all. when we did to kill a mockingbird i still didn't like doing the reports but it wasn't as bad cause i was really enjoying the book and i wanted to finish it sooner than i did but since it was for school...being a teacher no doubt is a hard job but when you have the right teacher and they talk to you about say the movies on what kind you like that may give them an idea of a book you may like. that's just my theory anyways i dunno if it would work or not. i'm also not a teacher either so i can't say if it would or not as for the banning and it's them being racist etc.. i 100% agree with you on that it's exactly what it is, i've never understood why who you go to bed with really matters to anyone? what does it matter which gender it is?
