You might have as well written "please continue practicing your recorder flute as an adult, it is really quite fascinating."
At some point you have read the instructive books you needed to read and solidified the principles you want to live by. Anything after that is whimsical personal recreation, raising the question why we waste money forcing children to do it. Because English teachers believe their little hobby deserves a larger audience?
- klyrs 5y agoIn grade 5, I read my first thousand-page book (Pillars of the Earth), and your reading list would have kept me occupied for less than a month. I note your derision towards both music and literature, and pride in the depth of your ignorance. We are very different people, and that's okay, but schools aren't meant to be tailored precisely to you. They exist for all of the other students, too. Some of which will, yes, grow to be English or Music teachers. A random selection of humanities books I enjoyed in middle and high school, which you might enjoy and/or learn from: Guns, Germs and Steel The Art of War A People's History of the United States The Prince Catch-22
- legerdemain 5y agoI welcome your criticism if your concept of music is limited to the recorder and your concept of reading is limited to assigned class reading. Otherwise, what are you even talking about? Precocious children like you can read as much as they want and whatever they want. The point is how much of that reading absolutely must be assigned to them in class and with what purpose.
