週に一冊の課題図書すら読めないらしい
読まないんじゃなくて読むことができない（上位のエリート大学生たちが）
2008年頃からこの傾向が強くなってて大学教授がやる気なくしてるらしい

More and more U.S. college students are unable to read books.

Nicholas Dames has taught Literature Humanities, Columbia University’s required great-books course, since 1998.
He loves the job, but it has changed.
Over the past decade, students have become overwhelmed by the reading.

Lit Hum often requires students to read a book, sometimes a very long and dense one, in just a week or two.
But the student told Dames that, at her public high school, she had never been required to read an entire book.

“My jaw dropped,” Dames told me.

じゃあどうやって勉強してるのかというと、みんなでアニメ映画を見てるらしい
@JohnRBruning·
My son read a total of nine books in 3 years of high school honors English and one year of regular English.
His freshman year, the class spent more time studying Tim Burton films than reading any works of great literature.
It was pathetic.

読むことができないてどゆこと？
すぐに飽きちゃうてこと？

中高時代に本を読むことを習って無いからそもそもやったことが無いしやりかたが分からないらしい

The anecdote helped explain the change he was seeing in his students:
It’s not that they don’t want to do the reading.
It’s that they don’t know how.
Middle and high schools have stopped asking them to.
