- waterlesscloud 14y agoWe had a book reading contest my fourth grade year, to read as many books as possible during the year. At one point, after I'd read some multiple of whatever the class average was, my teacher told me to stop reading so many books. Still, all these years later, I have very negative feelings about that. There's a lot of subpar teachers out there. In every district.
