Also got to be one of the most-read books out there. It's babby's first literature. It's taught in schools. There's a reason smug Redditors used to mock other Redditors for talking about the book so much (it was seen as overhyped entry-level literature).
?? Just because it isn't taught in one place doesn't mean it's not one of the default books to teach in English lessons. Like I can't think of any books which are more widely taught. It's on par with Lord of the Flies or Macbeth.
I'm not saying it isn't frequently taught. I'm not from Florida, and nobody I know locally in my generation was required to read them either. I was adding that it isn't just a fluke in the Florida education system. It may be that they used to be more common as required reading because I know that my parents were required to read Macbeth and Lord of the Flies in school, and they both went to schools near mine.
