I think the author's claim is correct that today school is based on learning how to pass a test, and not how to read in depth. To able to find the moral of the story and be able to apply it later in life.

I think that the author is right. He has a good point , i feel like we should read more books but books that we like and don´t have to just read them cause our teachers makes us read.I think kids don´t like reading any more cause of the new innovations of technology and back in the day they did´t have anything to do with phones so they would like to read more.

Schools have changed this new generation with standardized tests. We take the tests and don't recall any of the information from it and this same thing is happening with novels. We don't read books because we want to it's because we have to. When we don't have to we don't and that is the problem.

I agree with what the author is saying. With the No Child Left Behind Act, teachers are more focused on getting the kids to just pass the standardized tests, and are forgetting about the importance of reading in general. Then we forget about reading, eventually becoming more reliant on excerpts and just passing standardized tests.

I agree with the author of this passage. I feel like the education system is really just messed up for a lot of reason, but mainly with the issue of how many of us are actually reading. Most high school students haven't actually picked up a book or read a full novel. All they've done is read excerpts from novels to prepare for tests and on tests.

The author has a huge point that nowadays student’s learning are mainly based off of tests which is why we can’t apply the things we learn in the classroom to real life.

I think the author was dead on. He had some vary valid points on how we don’t read for the enjoyment but read because we have to or it is for a grade. I think that we should read for the fun of it and I like the metaphor about the 747 cockpit

I strongly agree with majority of what the author presented in the passage, The author expresses that most students have forgotten, or really were never taught how to find the true enjoyment of reading. As the years go by, younger generations do not read as often, it seems to be more reading excerpts to prepare for standardized test (which we actually have to pay for with our taxpayer dollars, like what) than actually learning through reading novels. Through the years test scores have shown a lower rate of students excelling in literacy parts of an exam, this is widely due to the lack of true reading mixed with the use of social media.

The author is saying that kids have grown up into a generation without the love for books. So now the level at which he usually teaches has to be dumbed down because the kids just aren't used to reading anymore.

The author is saying that though not all students have forgotten how to truly immerse themselves in a world of words, most have forgotten how to. It's true that we reach an age where it's not possible.
