I don't see why it would cause them to stop reading altogether? They are free to read other things that they like. Even if they are shown the film or a theatre production, I think that should be as well as reading the play not instead of. And what it teaches them is that you can't always do only the things you like doing, otherwise how are they ever going to cope in the workplace? Even if you like your job, there's always going to be parts of it that you don't enjoy doing... however, you have to.
