In regard to the discussion of the learning/reading/poor studying habits of
many of our students, are there many on this list that didn't do the things
like reading books? Most of our students aren't like many of us and didn't do
these things. If they did, perhaps many of them would be on this list or
another that was for whatever academic field they chose.
Albert Payson Terhune books about collies and a number of other things. A
series about a boy named Buddy who tried throughout the series to jump into the
air and click his heels three times like his grandfather could do.
The Hardy Boys
The Nancy Drew series
CS Lewis Chronicles of Narnia and many others
Robert Heinlein
Isaac Asimov
and many more were on my list of readings as I grew up. Most of my students
have not read a book that they were not required to read - ever, and we all
know that many of them read the books that they are "required to read."
So, what else should we expect except what we get? In fact, most of my
students would not have stopped while writing the previous sentence to not the
interesting juxtaposition of the words "expect" and "except" but I did.
