The Born Loser by Art & Chip Sansom Hurricane Hattie O'Hara: Yo, Wilberforce! Wilberforce: Hi, Hurricane Hattie! Hurricane Hattie O'Hara: Did you see our summer reading list for school? Wilberforce: Summer reading list? We never had that before! Hurricane Hattie O'Hara: Yeah, but they say we're old enough, now, that we should be reading on our vacation... Hurricane Hattie O'Hara: So they assigned us a list of books to read over the summer... Hurricane Hattie O'Hara: Then we have to write book reports on them to hand in when we go back to school! Wilberforce: You mean, they want us to have to think while we're on vacation? That's not fair!

Life is unfair. A guy named Wilberforce should have figured that out by now.

I’ve always read for pleasure. They had to pull the books out of my hands and make me study other subjects.

I would have been stuck at a third grade reading level if I had stuck with what was on the list.

Green eggs and ham, one fish two fish red fish blue fish, ah, nothing like rereading the classics in literature!

No good teachers today, hence the reading list for Summer. I can remember when we got till after Labor Day off and actually had the Summer to go on vacations and spend time with family.

Nice blanket condemnation. The summer reading list is a result of Education Theory. See Tigger’s comment above. Teacher’s have it imposed on them.

Those stragedy computer games require alot of mental thought, that being said a book is more like watching TV, doesn’t require much brain power but definitely requires imagination and they can take you places in the world you’d never be able to go, not to mention other worlds. I like reading for that very purpose.
