Creasing the spine.

Excuses made today to avoid reading:

It's boring.
It makes my head hurt.
The words start spinning.
I look at the words then the page goes white and I can't see.
I want to listen to music.
He threw crisps at me.
Can I make a PowerPoint about my book instead?

Some students find reading difficult, it's true, but other perfectly literate students spend too much time playing computer games and watching TV. Their brains aren't trained to concentrate on a page of text.

I saw the cartoon below and thought it sums up well what I felt when I walked into school for the first time. To a certain extent I still do aspire to this!
