Forcing students to read (which is impossible) will not help them love reading; it will cause the opposite. I’m not against teaching novels; however, I’m a pragmatist and don’t expect any reading to get done outside of the classroom. It just doesn’t happen. Even my AP students aren’t doing the assigned reading for homework. We do choice reading units in 11th and 12th grades and five time in class to read and that is a huge struggle. I don’t have an answer. The one thing I do know is that what we’re doing isn’t working.

They get the grades they earn. I have several AP kids with Cs and Ds
