>>24474392I'm a teacher, students by and large don't read for fun in their freetime anymore.
Since nearly every school has adopted a 1:1 laptop model, any downtime spent in classes is spent on their laptops.
There's at least one student per year who's a reader. I had a girl for two years who worked her way through the Russian greats. I had another student really interested in Japanese literature which, while weeb, was great to see.
I led my class through "How Do You Live?" which was an interesting experience. No curriculum exists and I had to seek District approval to teach it, I bought all my own copies and let students take them as a gift when we were finished.
