I mean, how often do we have posts here that are basically "I hated reading because of what I was forced to read in school but today I learned what I've been missing"? Clearly our schools have a long way to go in making reading accessible and enjoyable, and I think the OP here is just touching that idea from a different direction. None of this is to say that these books don't belong in the curriculum or that they don't also serve a valuable function, but it's definitely not a stretch to say that the way we teach in general has a tendency to lag behind our understanding of the way people-and in particular children-process information, and that maybe the way these works are discussed and analyzed in the classroom can help alleviate this problem. I don't know if this is the situation for u/lurkcatcher or not, but for kids like this, who are essentially a captive audience and who are being judged (via grades) on their ability to handle it, the experience could absolutely be a traumatic one.

There have been a lot of advancements in our understanding of how people consume fiction that have found that plenty of people experience fiction much more vividly and directly than others.
