I never heard of BookIt growing up
Anyways, I disagree that these programs work. They make reading seem like a chore that needs to be rewarded. I say this as a someone who participated in the library summer reading program but would have read a lot even without the free slurpee coupons.

Bookit must have been some zoomer or poor person thing.

I think scholastic book fairs have some value by getting kids excited about choosing books that they will have a sense of ownership over

I read because my parents taught me to read beforeI ever went to school somehow and the shit in books was a lot more interesting than this gay life.
That Pizza thing with Pizza Hut was just a treat to get free pizzas from the Goosebumps and Hank the Cowdog I was gonna read anyway

I don't think kids were furiously reading books for a tiny butt pizza. It was a fun thing to do and you got to go to Pizza Slut every now and then

The problem is the books they make you read in middle school fricking suck. I always liked reading as a kid, prob because I had good parents, but I fricking hated those shitty school books.
High school we got better stuff, but the middle school slop was painfully bad

I want to see what happens when you control for demographics. If america gets 5% browner, it's pretty natural we'll see a decrease in abilities. If Mayos and chinks start struggling then we have a problem.

It's not libertarianism though. If you jerk of to drawings of children, you're probably sexually attracted to them
. But being a libertarian's got nothing to do with being sexually attracted to kids. The libertarianism's all in the raping 
I strongly dislike the linguistic expansion of libertarian from meaning child male feminist 
to meaning attracted to children, which is unfortunately a literal thoughtcrime
