Are Students Doing the Required Reading?

Every year, students are assigned required reading. Whether it is poetry in Mr. Divine’s class or summer reading in seventh grade, every student has experienced a reading assignment. However, how many students are actually completing these assignments? Especially in recent years, with AI on the rise, it has become easier for students to bypass reading and rely on summaries instead. This brings up the question: are students still taking the time to read what they are assigned, or are they finding shortcuts to get through it? While some make sure they finish every reading before class, others may skim the pages and highlight random things, read a summary, or rely on class discussions to understand the material. I spoke with a student who prefers to remain anonymous and she said, “With the amount of work we get already I don’t do the reading. Normally I read a summary at the last minute.”
