I agree, it is dumb. That's the most effective way to make kids not want to read.

I mean, I did enjoy animal farm and siddhartha. But, in 7th grade English, they had us studying ontogenetic metaphor. Even with my English degree, seeing that makes me scream.

Oh, good lord. I didn't read either one of those books until at least my 30s.
