Tbh I hate reading because of school but it’s not because we had to read classics, it’s because in my school we weren’t allowed to read anything out of an arbitrary reading bracket.
Even if you wanted to take home an interesting book from the library you weren’t allowed to unless you read all the books between your current level and the level they put the book on. We had to pass comprehension tests to see if we understood the book we just read but we could only do it once a week so going up a single level could take most of the school year.
