IMHO it’s the Gove curriculum. It’s like it’s designed to kill the joy of reading. You can get a 15 yr old boy to do mad things with narrative if you talk to them about gaming. I’m trying to work out how to study gaming + narrative to complete an MA. When they realise storytelling is storytelling 🤯
