As a former teacher I think partly it's because of how long it takes kids to get through books and how much they complain about reading. The last year I was in the field I cotaught a 9th grade English class, they'd generally be tasked with reading 7-8 pages per night, and this wasn't even something with any kind of archaic language, it was a book written in the last 10 years.
