Should students be assigned more reading homework in school?

If so, how much? If not, do you think there are other ways they should be encouraged to read more, or do you think students already read enough?

They can be assigned reading at home....schools are suggesting 20 minutes a day and I say one hour.

@cherokeepatti Why are they suggesting 20 minutes?

@33person I don’t know why 20 minutes, it’s the state I guess. I say one hour. If a child has time to play video games they have time to read at least an hour per day.

@cherokeepatti By the time they're in high school, would that increase or stay at an hour?

@33person usually in high school they are given more homework, sometimes hours of it. I think an hour would still be good
