Shitty english class books

[Anonymous No.19354902]

Post the shitty books you were made to read in english classes. Also rant about why the fuck they chose these awful books to read.

One of the two worst ones was the boy in the striped pajamas. The book is not historically accurate in the slightest and it has no point. Also if little german shit could just go under the fence why couldn’t all the Jews just escape? My teacher gave the excuse that the point of this book was to get me to read something I normally wouldn’t read. Well I usually don’t read anyways so all this did was make me hate reading even more.

The book and movie sucked because it portrays it from the Nazi's perspective. The tragedy isn't about the Jews who were murdered, it's about the poor Nazi's kid who got swept up into it.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is basically Nazi apologia.

You should enjoy reading in high school. The issue is not reading, it’s that the entire set up of the typical high school naturally creates an adversarial relationship between student and adult, between student and their work (it is a mimicry of the factory system). If we were all taught how Maria Montessori wanted children to be taught we would never have this issue, which is very common, of children hating to read.

They barely touched the Holocaust when I was in school. Pretty much all they said was "Hitler was a bad person, partly because he killed 6 million Jews".

They didn't even mention the camps. And I went to public school. I don't know what schools you guys are going to but they're probably in heavily Jewish neighborhoods.

There are very books that are appropriate for children in high school and have educational merit. It's hard enough getting some of the kids, especially those who speak English as a second language, to read at all. The reason the books suck is that
A) kids won't understand complex interesting stuff. We aim to challenge them at their level.
B) the aim is often to read any book at all. Many kids don't read outside the classroom and never have or will.
C) They're YA novels. The target audience is young adult. People who haven't reached that point of maturity, or people who have passed it, aren't the ones who are going to get the most out of it. A decent teacher will pick a text to suit their class' development
D) having 30ish copies of a book is expensive. Sometimes you gotta run with what you have. If that means teaching animal farm despite it being a book aimed at undergrad students and pseuds, you run it anyway because the curriculum says you have to read a book in that year.

None of these reasons are satisfying but they're the truth. Hope they've contextualised some stuff for you.

Because the holocaust was one of the most tragic events in human history the same as any other genocide. What makes the Holocaust 'different' is that it is a much more recent attempt at genocide with modern technology and at the hands of a 'civilized' nation. The world needs to know about it because the world needs to know that although we are in modern times we are by no means more civil.

And when you have an instance like that. Where the state is arbitrarily allowed to mass kill unarmed civilians it cheapens all human life. It shows that we as a species are OK with one section of humanity being callously eliminated. And when you save that some human lives have no value you also imply that no human lives have value. For it wasn't just Jews that died in the holocaust. It was Gypsies, Poles, Russians, and 'unfit' Germans as well. The Holocaust is taught to remind everyone that human lives have value. That people are more than just tools of the state to be used and discarded at a dictators whim.

ayyyy toneeee, if the germans was so efficient how come they built all these rail lines and holocoasters and death camps instead of just shooting them or cutting their throat or somethin'? wasn't they short on both fuel and iron, tony? it just doesnt' make no damn sense tah me. the germans knew they was short on fuel, see, now why they gonna go and waste all that fuel carting around all these jews instead of just doing the business and getting it over with?

why did jews declare war on germany before hitler even started expelling them? why were jewish newspapers throwing around that 6 million figure even back in the 1800s? if they killed 6 million jews how come there were more jews after the war than there were before it?

Hello fellow Commonwealther, I am from Australia and I feel the exact same thing except it's worse here. See, white Australians are all colonialists, which means we have to learn superficial bullshit about the Aboriginal people of Australia. All I've ever seen that education do is make people despise the Aboriginals more, even made me despise them though I don't actually.
There is a similar thing in English class too. Responding to >>19354902 now, I'd like to list some books that we read.
- Because of You, by Pip Harry
- Picnic at Hanging Rock, by Joan Lindsay
- When Michael Met Mina (i forgot the author, fuck them)
These all have something in common. They are in the booklists solely because they are Australian books. The only prolific Australian book there is Picnic, the other two were shitshows that not a soul enjoyed, not even the people who liked to read. They just put up with the books to get their marks.

My schooling similarly glossed over the Holocaust, with the exception of my 8th grade gifted class which dedicated an entire semester to studying it (tangential focus on WWII and Nazi Germany in general)

We learned about the camps, we read The Wave and Elie Wiesel's Night, we learned about Mengele and the Nazi medical experiments.

They did.

It wasn't industrialized and it almost definitely wasn't officially endorsed, but a few Nazi scientists did it, as proven by forensic tests.

Also, no one knows if they used Jews for it. All we know is that human fat was found in some bars of soap taken from Nazi concentration camps.

yeah sure haha the nazis were suuuuuuch cartoon villains that they took a break from fighting a war on 3 fronts to brew up batches of jew soap. seems they had a lot of arts and crafts projects. one has to wonder where in the fuck they found all this manpower while busy with the war effort. truly it just boggles the mind. such ardent workers, those germans.

Learn to read motherfucker. I literally said no one knows if they used Jewish bodies for the soap. What we do know is that the Nazis did experiments on people, and we have anatomy books they made with terrifyingly accurate depictions of human corpses that doctors say is the most detailed there is. So it's not far-fetched at all to believe they did some crazy shit while they were at it.

I don't even give a flying fuck about the nazis. But I'm not going to buy that they made literal holocoasters that dumptrucked jews directly into an oven at the end of the ride, freeze-pop jews smashing on the ground, masturbation machines of death, drowning jews in pits of poo poo, trap walls with jagged spikes that shut in on the jews and crush them, or the other nonsense that jews wrote in their holocaust propaganda. what i am interested in is why the weimar republic was never mentioned even once in all my years of schooling but we were force fed jewish propaganda novels every year. no other war in history gets this kind of treatment.

John Taylor Gatto of "Weapons of Mass Instruction" fame talked about reading Caesar's Gallic Wars with his class of 5th graders
...and not only reading it, but analyzing it as an anthropological case-study in how to divide and defeat a numerically-superior enemy and to pacify and administer a foreign territory, as well as a work of political propaganda (i.e the exaggerated ferocity of the Gauls meant to make Caesars victory seem all the more miraculous).

Some of the things you mentioned are in fact untrue, but that stuff is hearsay, a lot of which was written during the war when all they really had to go off of was word of mouth. This happens during every historical event. There's a lot of misinformation about the Vietnam War too for the same reasons.

That's not the same as stuff that was tested decades after the war and proven to be legit. And as for not hearing about the Weimar Republic, like I said earlier ITT, my teachers barely went over the Holocaust. I guess they thought it was "too disturbing" to teach kids or something. So that should tell you something about how effective the education system is in this country anyway. Not because they lie, but because they don't go over stuff they should go over.

Saying that there weren't masturbation machines isn't Holocaust denial.

Per Wikipedia, Holocaust deniers deny that there was a program of extermination, that Jews were killed in camps and gas chambers, and that the number wasn't 6 million. Saying that certain details written about when people didn't know exactly what was going on yet probably aren't true isn't Holocaust denial.

Even denying that soap was made from human corpses, which we DO have evidence for, wouldn't qualify as Holocaust denial. It would just be denying one of the things the Nazis did.
