I think that the point of assigned readings is to build reading comprehension and the ability to grasp abstract concepts. Sadly, when I was in nursing school, you would not believe the number of classmates I had who had real trouble with reading something in the text and grasping it. ditto for note taking and study skills in general.
These were not stupid people in many cases( in some cases they were,lol) but if you don't build these skills early on, it often comes back to bite you in the butt later. Many things we have to do in high school are boring as hell. But, they need to be taught.
