Comment on I learned so much
FilterItOut@thelemmy.club 7 months agoSome classics are good enough to read. The problem is in forcing kids to try to do in-depth analysis. Charles Dickens isn’t all that bad to read, until you are squinting at every third word and wondering if this could mean something in the context of the whole book and just maybe you can write about it well enough in your stupid journal that you really want a B in so your parents don’t whip you with the belt again.
