I think they assign things to students which are way over their heads, which destroy your love of reading, rather than leading you to it. I don't understand that. Gosh.

About This Quote

To say that you do not understand some assignments provided to students by teachers is probably one of the most common complaints made. Many students complain that the assignments given to them are too difficult and do not make sense. This could be due to a lack of knowledge about what is considered masterful writing. In other cases, students may not understand the assignment because they have been taught to skip or skim through boring or difficult texts. Instead, they should be encouraged to read and understand complex topics in order to better themselves.
