School destroys everything that's fun

There’s a theory that bookish children who grew up and couldn’t get back into reading werent really fantasized by reading but the escapism because our childhoods sucked.
this got real deep 👆
Yes.. Those of us who needed doors into other worlds the most
Noooo don’t say that! 😪😭 I used to live to read.. went to university and haven’t read much since
This obviously doesn’t apply to everyone but it makes sense to many of us.
I vouch for that
School actually made me love reading more. It inspired me to look deeper and find the meaning in every story. It even inspired me to start telling my own stories. But reading isn’t for everyone ig.
Schools are literally Azkaban prison... sucks the joy out of things.
*My pov* we surs this isnt a prison in disguise? I want outtttt can i go home yet?

So true...
so basically a dementor
@@KittyGacha_10UA-cam doubled ur comment 💀
I used to love reading so much my mom would take my book away as a punishment until I calmed down
But now thanks to middle school reading feels like a punishment
I ADORE this series of harry potter books. I am so excited for the 3rd book from MinaLima
school once destroyed my passion for drawing and painting
I still love reading, but it's hard for me to sit down with a regular book and just read through it
I tend to read fanfiction and manga now, but I do still enjoy longer books like The Belgariad and The Journey to the West :)
Omg same I was reading everyday, and I hate the book we are reading in school rn. You have to highlight everything😭😭😭
NOOO not the highlighting 😭😭
Yes the ✨annotations✨
I hate it
I used to live ELA
But 7th grade man
so you want pictures in every book? you guys shouldn't read. you can do one job and that's play games very well. video games. so reading is boring without Cartoon like pictures which is childish? so you want pictures and art works in great autobiography books?
@@mcocgokemon4327 bro stfu I love reading I’m just saying that school makes everything as bad as possible
Also, I love reading
:/
@@mcocgokemon4327A lot of the things we’re forced to read suck ngl. I read every day for hours on my own but annotating & stuff for school reading is annoying. I feel like I retain what I read more by just reading lmao
This is how I feel when it comes to my art 😭
ct so true i used to love reading and now school made me hate it
RIGHTTT
I used to LOVE reading. If got grounded my mom didn't take my phone or toys, she'd take away my books. School ruined reading!
For me school actually kinda made my joy of reading
Me literally having the EXACT same book that m reading at school😂😂😂
ya'll get to read this in school?? you're so lucky
@@ReneeLai In the Netherlands we would've been allowed to read Harry Potter in original English for English class too, but not the translation for Dutch class. They were just getting written when I had book assignments in school though. ;)
Which was always a pain for me because I devoured books, including classics, but those were all translated. I really disliked Dutch literature. My parents still chuckle when they recall how long it took me to finish "De Aanslag". When I downed 500 page novels in a weekend.
I thought I hated reading in school, but I actually just hate reading most of the fiction styles they have in school.
Listen to me, I tell people the exact same thing. I 100% feel you. College ruined reading for me. Before that, you could not pull me away from a book. Now, when I look at a book, I feel like it's work. Trying also. ❤
School did not destroy my joy of reading because I understood there was a distinction between recreational reading and reading comprehension, which is usually taught through reading and analyzing classics, not Harry Potter and Pendragon. I was able to separate the two. There is more to reading than pure entertainment. We often forget how new social media and the internet are and often forget that a few decades ago, almost all information came from reading a tome.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Exactly, school doensn't kill the joy of reading. The books that you read for school aren't even to be fun, after all, it's your assignment to read them, it is your work, not your passtime. The time you take to read a book you like in your free time is completly different from the time you take to read a book that school told you to read, the first one is a time to relax and enjoy, whereas the other one is a time to focus on your task. People have to learn how to distinguish obligation from leisure.
Imo it was actually less that the books were boring and more that I was so overwhelmed with homework that I didn’t have any TIME to read for fun anymore. And the assigned reading that I wanted to enjoy, I had to rush through in order to make deadlines.
It re-wired my brain into thinking of reading as something I associated with feeling stressed out, rather than enjoyable.
I say this as someone who would read books for fun under my desk well into high school.
they integrated silent reading when i was in high school and those were the best moments of peace i got at school. they suddenly took it away and it broke my heart.
True, I don’t remember the last time I read because I wanted to
I absolutely *hate* reading in school. We’re reading and I’m really getting into the scene in my head, then we stop reading for like 10 minutes to analyze the obvious, then I have to try and get the scene back in my head. Then once I do, we have to stop again and the process repeats. It makes me so mad.
Meanwhile, I've been dissecting the Harry Potter books for just over a year and now I'm at the last book.
I simply thought of reading the series, but I also thought it would be great to mark just about every single detail. While it consumed a lot of time, it still is fun.
I bought A Song of Ice and Fire a couple months ago and I can't wait to finish dissecting Harry Potter and unwrapping asoiaf (yes, they're still wrapped lol).
I finally started reading ASOIAF idk why I waited so long lol just finished the third book
@@jrkasaurus UPDATE: I started the series in May and went through the first two books quick enough. I got to the third book in late August and I only got through 200 pages so far. Why can't summer breaks be any longer😂
Books with pictures are the best things ever
🎀No school didn’t kill my love of reading but along with other things. It helped me get through my bullying.🎀
i literally get in trouble in ENGLISH CLASS for reading too much. i don’t think i will ever get tired of reading
First question,YES
That version of the book looks really cool I love how interactive it is
I’m reading this version right now too!
As a SUPER Harry Potter fan, can I kindly ask…. WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE BOOKS CZ THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!
I got mine on amazon!! it’s the minalima editions of the Harry Potter books (they’re releasing the 3rd one soon!)
Yeah same and thats a gorgeous book it feels like i have to read the book and then make a darn project about it
I agree. When reading became a task, I lost interest. But now, I'm re-igniting my love for reading.
I ❤LOVE❤ reading it is absolutely one of the best pleaures in the world. If anyone at school besides a teacher took a book out of my hands they could basically consider themselves dead.😄
yesss!! just being able to imagine worlds beyond the pages is amazing
This is true for me. But I would also say that later on in high-school it was my literature teacher who brought back to life my interest for books. Once, he stated something like this: "Even though you have to or ought to read the books on which you will be tested, maybe these books aren't to your taste. However, with all the books out there, there must be a genre that will please you. Never stop looking."
I have both 2 books and I’m looking forward to getting the 3rd one. Minalima truly outdid themselves with this
I ABSOLUTELY NEED THAT BOOK! I LOVE HP!
that book's so pretty!
These books realy help with my dyslexia as you can see what going on in the book aswell as imagining what’s happening
I know the key is to try and keep reading books you like when you are young even though its hard but it really works
School didn't destroy it, but it made it seem like it was a bad thing. When I was in middle school, I was required to take an art class, I always finished my daily art project early and would pull out whatever book I was currently into and start reading. I was told I wasn't putting enough effort into my work, even though that's objective, cuz it was ART CLASS. How can you say MY ART wasn't good enough. I got called to the Principal's office several times and even had to have my parents come in for a conference with my teacher. Who admitted my artwork was fine, but I was more interested in reading, like that was a negative thing. My mom actually got mad at the teacher for giving me that much of a problem for FINISHING my work and then reading a book. That since I wasn't causing a problem in class, like talking or being disruptive, there was no reason for them to be harassing me. Love her for that, hate that teacher for calling me out for wanting to read in my spare time.
Sorry for the long response...
I wish all books were like this version. It’s so immersive and interactive.
These books by MinaLima are stunning. HP is the only set of books I have actually collected different versions of. They’ve released the first 3 books and they’re worth it!
That’s what I did after college! I was so annoyed that all that schooling took my love of books away. I started w the books I loved most as a kid and slowly got back into joyful reading again. It does work! Good luck! I hope you find your way back to enjoying being lost between pages 💖✨
Harry Potter is my favourite book series so far and I think always will be ❤️
Didn't like reading again till after college. Now it's my dissociation activity of choice
I had the complete opposite experience. My 2nd grade teacher would read a chapter of Harry Potter at the end of the day. It’s what got me into the series. Mrs bajan was her name. She was an angel she played piano and had a great voice. She was 1 of a few excellent teachers I had
My school is obsessed with Harry Potter and we literally have a Harry Potter week, so freaking fun
Back in elementary I read a lot more than I do now. In the school library I always loved reading the magic treehouse, a series of unfortunate events, and owned a few monster high books myself.
But the school was always trying to raise everyone’s levels of reading, so they started pulling kids aside who were deemed “slow readers” or didn’t meet the standards. Every week some of us would be pulled out of class so that they could individually help us advance our reading skills (which isn’t a bad thing of course). But it was clear that they weren’t satisfied enough with my progress. Eventually it started making me feel different or stupid, and from that moment on every book I picked up felt like a chore or reminder that my skills weren’t good enough.
It saddens me that up until recently I’d completely forgotten my joy of reading from telling myself all these years that I hated it. I’m now 19 and am hoping I can try and get back into to it, but this time I’m gonna read whatever the hell I want. It’s gonna be hard having to rewire my brain again but I have confidence. So yeah you could say school ruined it for me for a long time. Thanks for reading.
Those books are literally gorgeous. I’m gonna get them after the clothbound classics I have. I don’t think a love of reading ever truly goes away. Thanks for sharing!
I’m 9 years old and in 4th grade and yeah I loved reading for fun and now it is like a assignment and not fun so now in the summer or any school break I try to like reading again with out it feeling like a assignment
I love reading at school more because it’s the most entertaining thing to do besides talking to friends😢
How lucky you are... I'm lost my childhood without these beauty hp books.
I’ve recently gotten back into reading too! Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes, and more. It’s fantastic. Everything is better when you enjoy reading again.
Yep… school has given me bad memories when it comes to reading but I absolutely love reading graphic novels.
College killed my passion for art, so I’ve spent many months healing and regaining my love for drawing and stuff😅
Red Rising saga is amazing!
I LOVE MINA LIMA SO MUCH
This is how I felt
I still remember vividly in middle school when we got to learned about a short story called 'The break up of the dolls'. What I got from the story was two siblings had to split their toys and the older brother was very sad about it and I remember he was thinking to himself why everything around him was still normal but he was the only one who was hurt inside. That was what I remember. Until in highschool, one day I was bored and didn't have anything to do so I found my old textbook read the story again and I finally understand why the older brother was so sad when they split the toys. So their parents was getting a divorce, the mother told them to split their toys because the siblings won't live together anymore too. It's was their last time they were ever been together. The moment I understood the story I was crying my heart out.
I don't know whether I was too stupid to understand the metaphor or too young to know about the problem. But for sure the teacher did not help me to really understand the story at all
I got back into reading with Brandon Sanderson’s cosmere books after college.
Omg yes it did, I love reading Harry Potter and I want to but it feels like I’m doing work. Even listening to it feels like an assignment.
Found out in the comments that this book is called minalima edition and I ordered 3 of their titles just now. I can't wait until they get here, they look absolutely gorgeous!
man i hate hardcover but these look soooo beautiful. i’ve always been obsessed with the hp movies and i never read the books because i thought they were too intimidating. these look like they might help 🥺
I found love of reading again too after school ♥️ so grateful for books and my babies to read to ❤ im also grateful that they love books and learning and stories ❤️ it's too bad school makes it into a burden.
I started to notice when i hit 7th grade that my love for reading started to fade, because thats when alot of our assignments came down to books and such and was constantly a stressful mess, and then high school kicked it up to 100, constant book reports or essays really made me even hate the idea of reading outside of school unless it was manga or comics because everything outside of that felt like work, i used to also write short stories but gave up because school sucked the life out of it, overall school has a way of ruining certain things, but i will say that after 3 years of being done and graduated i would still wanna go back, you dont realize how much youll miss it when you get hit by the reality of “i miss when my grades were my only real issue”
Me too. Im trying to get back into it.
rooting for you !!
School didnt destroy reading for me im just dyslexic 😭
In my school we had reading tests where we read a completely unrelated book to real life and had to evaluate it with questions such as “who was holding the pot plants in the story”. Like wt- 🤦♀️
They sell it at kmart now.
I hated school books bc they felt like a chore too plus I’m a big fan of due dates but for me personally it never put me off reading in general, I still read books I actually enjoy and picked out myself.
I have those books they are so cool and im excited for when they finish making the whole series of those version of the books!
theres this series of classic books i found that comes with illustrations, so its like i get to read and every now and again i get rewarded with a picture xD
This is spectacular and gorgeous 😍
I wish we would have these books when we read harry potter these books look freaking amazing 😭
I realised I the other day that I stopped reading when I started high school, school just made reading feel like a chore rather than an escape.
Oooo I love that version of the book
Everything you said is soo relatable. I recently started reading again by reading the books that made me fall in love with reading when I was little.
love that !!
Ugg seriously its like schools think that things can’t be deep unless they are depressing/existentially horrific.
That's what school did for my love of art and drawing for like 9 years after I got out. I had a bunch of art teachers that were awful and made me hate it.
Love it I'm getting the third one for Christmas I can't wait 😊
OH THEY TRIED.
They tried their hardest.
In highschool we had a mandatory reading thing, we had to sit silently for half an hour and read.
I remember once I brought Watership Down, and i remember a teacher trying to tell me the book was too advanced for me.
They were a supply teacher i had never met.
And i was 15.
In the top set English class.
She tried to tell me i needed to read something "more fitting for my reading age"
I told her i understood every word in the book.
So she said "If you can tell me what burrow means, id be surprised."
....
Mother fucker thought I didn't know what BURROW MEANT.
So i told her and she seemed quite annoyed at me.
Another time i was reading a manga and a teacher got annoyed at me for reading a tolder book
Thing is
I was reading Junji Ito Maniac.
So i just flipped a couple pages and showed him that it was, in fact, NOT a childrents picture book.
He stayed away from me for the rest of my time there
That is the most fantasimagical book I have ever seen and I NEED the box set for it
I have that book too it’s so interesting
It is killing it
Wow🎉🎉
As a potterhead i just love that book❤❤
I never got bored of reading just bored of the books we had to read so I would read ahead in or before class so then I could read my actual good books.
I still take home 5 to 6 books from the library lol.
I'm buying it! Its so beautiful with every detail!
Yup described it perfectly 😂
I'm also rereading HP for a similar reason!! I started suffering with depression and lost the joy of it, so I'm getting back into reading to capture the magic again 😊
I stopped reading actual books for a long time and just turned to fanfics. I hadn’t picked up a published book in years because of school and parent’s turning all my hobbies into work. I just recently started to read properly again. (I still love fanfics, always will. They are my comfort)
The Minalima remakes are top tier. 👨🏻🍳💋
Same thing here I loved reading and then by like 1st grade it felt like a chore
ugh i totally feel ya there
Yea, growing up in the ar program, I have never been able to like reading since it has been an assignment everytime
This happened to me I used to be stuck in my books like to the point when I was sure that my parents were asleep I would go to my closet turn the lights on in there close the door and hide in there to read because I shared a room with my sister but school really killed my love for it I'm trying now to rediscover my love for it through finding and reading books that I loved to read!
And that’s why I’m homeschooled 😂😂
Mina-Lima 😎Epic😎
this book is amazing, i have both of them and they r beautiful
it truly is !!
I want it but i may only get it when the full set is made
I thought the 3rd wasn't out yet.
The one time i actually enjoyed reading at school was when i had a choice what to read.
I think my 10th grade english teacher had heard about this theory that school makes kids hate reading. So she got permission from the school to change one of the books we were supposed to read in during the year. So instead of reading "Catcher in the Rye", like all the other classes. She compiled a list of like 10 - 15 books. All from different periods and different genres. She also gave us a sheet of paper with the synopsis of all the books and allowed us to choose what we want to read.
I ended up picking up a relatively new book called "Bean Trees" (which is sad that a book from the 1980s was the newest book i had read in school up to this point (2020)).
I loved the book, it was about the woman in her early 20s who decided to get in her car and move away from her home in texas randomly. While on the road she stops by a diner in oklaholma and when she gets out she finds that someone had left a baby in her car. I think the baby had a note with it. That said like the parents were both dead and it was the aunt who left the kid, because she felt she was unfit to raise her. Anyways, the woman decides to just keep the kid, eventually settles in Arizona, and raises the kid. The book goes through all their struggles being a single young mom and some racial struggles because it is the 80s and the kid is native american.
All of that wouldn't have been possible without my awesome 10th grade english teacher.
For me, on contrary, owing to school I enjoyed reading even more 😊
I’m in after school care and basically the teachers there are always like ‘we will make u do silent reading if I don’t cooperate’ and the thing is I love reading so I’m always like what’s so bad about that😂 they think it’s rude
I feel the same way but most of the time i’m just playing games
Love this❤
