Redicide (Best Sellers)

     Renocide is definitely a problem in schools.  I've read stories in school that I disliked (like The Shadow Club) and I read through so much of the book and then realize that I was so bored I wasn't even paying attention to what it was saying and had to read it again.  Reading it through again is torture, and I think that for that reason especially we should read more stories that kids tend to like in schools.  Or even, let the kids pick the story they want to read for themselves; give them options!  That would help so much because 1. we feel independent already, like we have a say in how we use our time reading and 2. we enjoy the books more when we know that we picked it for ourselves and liked it.  We need to give a little more leeway when it comes to books because kids need to like a book to understand it.  I think it's a well-known fact that if we don't like a story it's really hard to actually pay attention: it's just like a guy watching a chick-flick; they get bored so quick that they can't tell their girlfriend a single word used in the whole movie when it's over.
     I think we want kids to read books because they are key parts of being able to read important things later in life.  These things (like fine print in a legal statement, terms and conditions, and most people when they are grown will have a job that involves some type of reading even if it means just writing an application and reading the questions) are so important in everyday life!  We read all the time when it comes to something as simple as a dinner menu at a restaurant.  Illiterate people have a hard time making it in society today; almost everything needs to be read to be understood in the economic world.
