I think the main flaw is our actual way we teach literature in schools. I personally hated reading up until doing a “journal club” in college which was more like a book club that we would all read some assigned peer reviewed journals and then discuss them in an open environment. It made it where you couldn’t really participate unless you read the articles and the professor would facilitate the conversation so we would discuss certain things if no one else naturally brought it up. I don’t think that would really be possible in a 30 person class of high schoolers but if you took a smaller group of maybe 10 kids and instead of them just writing about the book had them talk in a group setting about a book like animal farm and which sections they found interesting or what sorts of parallels they see in modern times I think could engage students much more
