I've never encountered more students who say they hate reading. Students who want to be teachers, writers, or both. I wonder if "hate" means "I have trouble reading," but I also talk with so many students who write in a genre but refuse to read in it. They can't see themselves in relation to others.

One of these guys is now going to be an SRO in a school. Imagine being a Latino kid finding out the guy who walks around your school with a gun got fired from his last job for joking about a mass shooting of people who look like you.
