Here too (Italy) the education system makes a pretty terrible job at teaching the joys of reading (or those of music, maths, and… pretty much anything to be honest).
Maybe that’s why people love soccer so much… because they have not been properly taught to like other things?
I’ve been told by people who live in the US (California, IDK if it’s the same elsewhere) that kids have reading periods at school where the class is silent and each kid sits by their own and reads whatever book they please.
It made me chuckle at first, but then I started wondering if that could work better than assigning books to read at home and report on like they do here.
