READING FOR PLEASURE: Thoughts on teen reading from local author (and English professor) Tiffany Trent.
I doubt many of these kids, between the pressures exerted on them by parents and those of their peers, even have time to read. And what are they reading in high school? Classics. Things that they must read in order to meet their standardized testing requirements. How does reading for pleasure possibly fit in?
Good discussion in the comments.
