I kinda have to agree all these attempt to make the boys read are well intentioned but more often than not cause them to simply despise reading fortunately I was not force to read that much either. Which was good because at the end of the day I am not a very avid reader so if i had been force to read the classics I would have probably forsook reading entirely.
This also applies to creative writing, drawing and probably musical instruments. These should be optional classes as a lot of people are simply not interested in writing professionally or drawing or the artistic endeavor in general. Mea culpa.
However i do think they should make us write at school. not novels, stories. Just teaching us how to write properly because at the end of the day the only way to learn how to write is, well by writting. You might not now, or care, how to draw and that is completely fine. But you most definitely need to know how to write decently.
Most school related projects tend to be quite bland as most people are actually afraid of what other people might think of their writing so some people even develop a sanitized writing style only for homework and projects.AnApocalypticLime wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 4:06 am I've only written for school projects where there are limitations and you have to watch what you write because it might forever change your classmates' impressions of you for better but usually for worst. I don't think I've ever written a story outside of school, If I did though it would probably be pretty mediocre, then again don't know till you try. Almost want to write one now... My hand is pretty shakey-mistakey and hurts after only 5 minutes of continuous writing but it's good enough to have the best handwriting out of all the guys. My art is heavily luck-based a.k.a. I have no idea wtf I'm doing.
