I don't even remember what the gently caress books we read for English in high school.
Whatever they were it didn't alter my love of reading one way or the other.

I remember senior year in high school they just had everyone take English electives. It was pretty cool because the teachers could just do whatever the hell they wanted to.

So I had a Shakespeare class where the teacher just kind of said "let's read a few of these plays and try to actually enjoy them" and it was fun.

I had to read Fountainhead, the one about the rapist that blows up a building, admits to it in court, then gets declared not guilty because of his 20 page speech on Objectivism.

like I remember hearing a semi nerdy honors girl say "haha this book ended the typical shakespere way were everyone dies haha"

like the thought that comes to them isn't "WW1 was really loving bad, war in general is bad"

more like they think "this book is really bad"

I think its like a "reality is unrealistic" type of thought process that happens and i think it happens because teenagers just don't usually have enough life experience to understand yet

also I think most war poo poo just like reinforced the military kids into joining the army/marines because it made it seem even more heroic and kind of normalized military life

there's a lot of ironic psych effects people don't usually think about that happen when you teach a book like that for a class, espec a high school class

that's kind of interesting from her, my honors courses in high school were pretty in tune with what we read, whereas we'd hear from our friends in the normal course and it'd just be endless lols. what is this kid's book animal farm, r u takin the piss Ms. Grossberg??

All Quiet was also well-executed by our school because everyone saw the movie during a history class where we also saw Life is Beautiful.
