Snob? And why not? There are so many good books, why read incoherent and derivative trash?

I’m sad for you, snoot.

Don’t be. But maybe stop using made up words.

You're mistaking something being bad and you just not liking it. Any books that get kids reading are good.

Mistaken? No I don’t think I am. It’s trash.

I'm not sure why you'd want to present yourself as being so pretentious, good for you for being honest I guess.

If not liking rubbish makes me pretentious, I guess I’m pretentious.

If a kid is excited about reading a book, why would you ever want to discourage them? I've seen students struggle to get through required reading, and then as soon as they are able to pick any book they want they devour it and are able to have discussions about it. Would you really want to call what they are reading trash and risk them not bothering to find a book they like again?

Spare me the guilt trip.

It's not you I'm trying to spare, I'm trying to change your mind about giving some poor kid grief about what they're reading. As a teacher it's kind of a priority for me.

Well, you’re in luck. This is Reddit and I’m not a teacher.
