English class books

  What good will come of us analyzing books like Lord of the Flies and The Color of Water?  In ten years time we won't remember this shit.  I get we have to read books (and sometimes, if the teacher is good, the books are good) but can't, for once, the book be interesting?  It's like the English teachers have a meeting and decide, "That book is boring and completely uninteresting.  Let's make them read that."  And, this is directed towards my English teacher, why are you trying so hard to be like the teacher from Freedom Writers?  Stop trying to get the Hispanic and stoner kids to like you.  Nobody does, only the kiss ass teachers pets do.  She tries to act like a fucking scholar when in reality she's a sub-par English teacher in a sub-par school.  Only upside is she got knocked up and is leaving this month.  Thank.  Fucking.  God.
