I genuinely think the worst thing the internet did to reading was convince people that finishing books is a competitive sport. You don't need to read 52 books a year. You just need to read. Books you like. At your own pace. And think about them for longer than a TikTok video.

Do no head teachers ever question teaching perverted by testing?
A Chinese boy I played Go with online loved chatting with me as conversational English was a profound release from intense grammar focus in China.
