What is your opinion about the amount of reading that is, or should be, assigned in high school English classes in the U.S.?

@Tomorrow How heavy do you think it should be, for example?

@33person Imagine I'm in a time machine....

All people have had that fantasy.

That's my answer.

There was something in me that knew those two teachers were astoundingly special but now its so clear to me...

@Stilltryinghard I think it was actually because you said it was no golden time for you. That's why I was confused. But looking back, do you think more English teachers could and should have their class do that amount of that kind of reading?

@33person we were supposedly "honors" students and that was hot stuff back then. It was challenging and as I said I could have done better but I was maximally loaded as were we all. And I didn't shine in that class.

I could never do high school today. I would get really angry the first 10 minutes and quit.

@curiosi I have heard this from everyone I know who grew up in hell.
