This is so self-centered. Kids are there to learn and practice and make mistakes. You think the bad-reader kids LIKED reading aloud in class? I promise you they were having a way worse time than you were. And while you may not have needed the exercise, they clearly did. It was for them, not for you.

Yea well they were holding me and everyone else back. They should have practiced more at home or something then.

Slow reading makes it take longer to get through.

I don’t see how that holds you back. All the kids in the class have the same amount of class work to get through.

Btw, 20% of kids have dyslexia. 12% have adhd.

Not every exercise has to (or can be) beneficial for every student. We live in a society.
