Ah, Summer Reading. They say it's to keep us reading during the summer, but only people in advanced reading have it. Chances are, people with advanced reading are probably already reading (and enjoying it). There aren't even exceptions for students who go on vacation, or students who simply cannot get the book. It seems to me like another failed attempt by the school system to intrude on student's personal lives.
Summer vacation? Read some books!
Parents wake up late and drop you off late? Detention!
Detention? Again? Your driver's licence is suspended!
Well, it's the tenth of August. It's time for me to power through two books. I wouldn't be complaining if the books had substance and weren't just information dumps or boring autobiographies. I want to punch Joel Ben Izzy in the face.
