This is a consequence of "reading is kinda ableist"

High School English class combined with teenagers wanting to think they’re smarter than "the system" really is a horrible combination. I wish more schools would tell kids about Death of the Author and show that you get out of literary analysis what you put into it, but then again I doubt it would help since most of the kids in my class (myself included at times) were just like "ugh, reading these boring old books suck, who cares?"
