2 together will make thing more interesting. i can't understand why you
even read the potter series to you it should just be good comic book. if we
stop getting pleasure from reading we will stop. we want rewards for our
efforts and you talk about if we don't no about the origins try having fun
where cristianity came from (start in greek mythology) i think you'll enjoy
what you find. if school is fun you'll stay in and you will learn more just
look how rowling deals with this,history of magic classes, if they were made
more interesting more students will be involved then there might be
something there they would like to learn more. there is too big reasons
people quite school bordum and work. we can't do much about them going to
work, but we can make learning more interesting. if you don't open your
mind were doomed to repeat the travisties of our past it were our prejudice,
blind hatred and lack of understanding what we don't know. i pityy a person

Well, I pity a person whose mind is as closed as yours, Terry
Cousineau.

I have been reading for pleasure for more than 40 years. I have read
comic
books for pleasure. I have read Marcus Aurelius for pleasure. I have
read
Shakespeare for pleasure. I have read James Bond for pleasure.
I don't believe you have anything to teach me about reading for
pleasure.

School is not about pleasure. School is about teaching things that
students
otherwise would not learn. Whether a student enjoys his schoolwork is
largely up to the student. I've had terrible teachers, but I still
enjoyed the
subject matter. It's all about one's own attitude.
