What ~~parents~~ schools force kids to read is boring, lots of books out there that are fun, and even more so if you include comics

Edit: brain fart

I lost my love of reading thanks to idiotic school mandates. I read so many books in jr high, in high school we had a homeroom at the end of the day that you weren't allowed to do homework in, we were literally forced to read for 30 minutes. School admins thought this would ignite love for reading, instead it killed all of my joy for it. Nothing like sitting next to a sunny window thinking about how in just 23 more minutes you can go outside when you're being forced to read right there.

Then detention too, if you got detention you weren't allowed to do homework - because reasons I suppose. (Doing poorly in school? Getting detention? Well good luck, you can't do homework here sucker!) So of course, more forced reading time. How did no one think that we would associate reading == punishment?

So now I find it incredibly difficult to read, and I hate it. All I think about is all of the other things I could be doing.

It was the opposite for me. I got into books because of a recommended list my school sent us for summer vacation. Best thing that ever happened to me.
