Your statement would sound a lot less dramatic if not for the fact that literally everyone goes to school.

"Not being paid for your work" 🤣🤣🤣

My man, your book report is contributing nothing to society. Future scholars will not look upon it with awe. It is purely an exercise to help students as a whole develop as individuals.

Here's my question - how do you expect teachers, who are actually providing society with a much-needed service, who are already well understood to be overworked and underpaid, to productively encourage students to pay attention?
