I believe that we need to stop teaching literary fiction exclusively. However, it’s not because I hate reading and what teachers are giving us to read are pointless and out dated. I feel that teachers are focused only on their one subject alone and that if they taught you the true meaning in their class and what is required for them to teach they did a great job. But the problem is as students we have no idea about the outside world or how to really relate that to the outside world. I feel in this day and age where technology is advancing and we are begin to become more immersed in other countries and worldly things we need to get our heads out of the books, and focus on articles. Now that does not mean teachers should just stop everything they are doing and make us read news articles. No it just means we can stick to the books we are reading but to help show us the underlying universal themes and see how it is actually applied to real life; they show us news articles, recent books and more genres to broaden our connection of the lesson and truly understand why we are learning what we are learning.
