mikepurvis on Homework makes kids hate learning
I was never really a fan of lit, especially the analysis stuff, but I knew a lot of people who never have read anything they didn't have to read for school. Regardless of how much they think they internalized, it's probably good to have been through Hamlet and Macbeth at least once or twice. I'm wary of "it sucks but it's good for you"-style arguments (especially when they're used to justify nonsense like this); perhaps the onus is on the teachers to make lit not suck. But students should be able to realise that even if they don't like Catcher in the Rye, it's worth holding on for the undisputed classics. (Shakespeare, Watership Down, Flowers for Algernon, etc.)
