I'm not against this, but... well

Our state mandated better reading scores. So the response from the school was to make a mandatory reading period at the end of each day for 30 minutes. I went from loving reading to hating it, and even now 20 years later I still can't enjoy a book.

I hope this doesn't backfire.

The intent is good, but cynically I’d worry it will serve to other the boys and instead create a climate of resentment.
