    High school students reading the entirety of The Great Gatsby?

    Where does this happen these days? From what I’ve read in /r/Teachers, getting kids to read and comprehend more than a couple of paragraphs is a struggle for most students. It’s pretty bad out there.

      Even in the fucked up education system in Texas, this is to my knowledge still required reading.
