nah, that’s actually a good suggestion. if you’re sixteen and don’t really understand why you should bother with whatever book that’s probably just really boring anyway, you’re not in the right frame of mind to appreciate it, let alone being charitable enough to actually look for things to appreciate. and sometimes a few extra years and some added maturity/experience/foreknowledge can help a lot on its own

Even if you read and liked the book, I think there's value in going back and re-reading without the need to come up with a reading that will match the teacher's well enough to get a good grade. Almost every teacher I ever had in high school was of the "Hrm, you put a lot of thought into this but I don't agree with it so you fail" school of grading. That definitely impacted my enjoyment of books we read in class because it was less "read this book and think about it" and more "here's a list of my thoughts about the book, now read the book and match it up with the list".
