I think that high schools should require students  to read the "classics" because there an important part of the curriculum  and are called the classics for a reason. "Student who have read the "classics "  are better prepared for collage literature classes, because they will have background knowledge of works that other writers refer to"  and  " what i hope schools will continue to do is to create avid readers who are willing to take time to savor stories and great ideas. anyone who has ever been " lost in a book" knows it is one of the greatest pleasures of human invention". So as you can see reading the " classics"  is very important for the future no matter how boring the book might be because it will be worth it in the future
