At least in high school, our literature teacher would give us a good reason for why we were assigned the books we were reading. She made us read The Chocolate War the semester one kid in 10th grade tried to kill himself because he was bullied (that's a whole other and very tragic story) so at least she put some though into her reading selections. Also, she gave us options, by telling us to pick one of three options for the next assignment.
A good teacher will make anything interesting and worthwhile.
