You guys are gonna love this.... - Cosbydaf - 10-18-2007 10:41 AM
So today I was sitting in 4th period, being bored, when I'm told to go to the library. When I get there, it turns out that they're having a celebration for the people who did Summer Reading.
Now, here's the funny parts:
1. Only 12 people(counting me) in the WHOLE SCHOOL actually did Summer Reading. I suspected it'd be something like that, but I busted out laughing when they actually told me it was true.
2. I didn't even read one of the books I wrote my report on!
And even better I got free pizza and candy out of it too! Not bad, eh?

My mom treats me like an adult, She listens to me but she still defends it, She knows I'm right, I've exposed her to so much stuff. She always says "Well what do you want to do about it" and I suggest Homeschooling and she tells me I'll make no friends and I'll regret not getting my diploma and all the senior stuff like she did when she dropped out and got her G.E.D, She is kinda right in a sense, but working so hard four years in a system I don't believe in, To be a little happier at the end. Its just not for me.

In our school, "Summer Reading" is mandatory. You have to select two books from their shitty list of 15 and do a book report. Naturally, forcing kids to read prescribed, politically correct books is the way to get them to appreciate reading.

Yeah, I hate summer reading too. I thought it WAS mandatory, that's the only reason I did it!

We had two, and we had to do both of them. We had to do and essay and a test for both. I failed.

Well if dumbasses read in the first place we wouldn't need forced summer reading. And we'd also have less sheeple.

Oooh, free pizza... yay!

But school gives reading such a bad name with its boring ass books that people don't want to read.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
The Pigman by Paul Zindel
Not to mention The Rag and Bone Shop by Robert Cormier, that dude has a book on that list.
I think my teacher gets a kick out of making us read controversial books.

Summer reading is gay. I'm glad we never had it when I was in school. I'm glad you got free pizza out of it though.
