The closest we came to real reading was giving them books, then reading out loud to them. They rebelled. They hated the class. They didn’t come or they acted up when they attended. They didn’t do the work. I said things like, “These kids just don’t want to learn” and “These kids don’t care about their education.”
I think this is very common among students today. I believe many students do this because many curriculums and units do not reflect them. They aren't invested, they don't have buy in because these lesson/books were not chosen or implemented with them in mind. This is the idea of "window and mirror" texts. Many texts are merely windows for the students they are not mirrors that reflect themselves.
