DS9 constantly complains about school being a huge waste of time, with all the "blah blah blah" from the teachers all day long. He brings in his Redwall series books and I'm always amazed at home much reading he gets done during the school day. He just sits down w/ his book in the classroom whenever they allow him to, and ignores whatever is going on around him. If they didn't allow his outside books there, I probably would have taken him out by now.
I'm there with him. I read all through elementary school. When allowed to pick my own seat, I would put myself next to the classroom library and read through the shelves. Through middle/high school, I and my sibling who attended the same high-performing school each read about one book a day during the school day. We visited the school library at the beginning and end of each day to check out/return new books (and sometimes at lunch, too).
