As you've pointed out, there are tons of great resources in schools, but students are given limited access to them. I think they're mostly props, tbh.https://twitter.com/jhogg17/status/989523555002994693 …
In elementary school, I would stay in at recess to read -- this became a "problem," and I was forced outside. I'd read when the teacher was distracted, then be chided to "stay on task" & do the rote work I already knew how to do. I resorted to smuggling books into the bathroom.

I *loved* reading, but my ability to focus/get into flow was hampered (possibly even in the long run) by being constantly distracted and chided or punished for doing it at any time aside from the 30 min/day allotted for it. This is an absolutely insane way to "teach" children.

I resorted to staying up all night to read (and know a lot of friends that did the same). Might be why we all have terrible eyesight now, but hey, worth it!
