I once wrote my dad's name on one in print and my teacher took me aside in the middle of class and gave me a lecture on how forgery is a crime and I could go to jail Funny thing was I actually read for an hour but just forgot to get it signed
when I forgot to get my planner signed (which was useless because we didn't write anything in them) I just faked my dad's last name in messy handwriting (fancy=messy) and they didn't know because he had never signed anything for the school, it was always my mom.
Once (i was 7 years old) there was a contest to see who could read the most books in a period of time. I didn't lie but instead found the loophole that small books counted as much as big books, so I grinded them and ended up winning the whole competition while putting in less effort than a fair amount of people
in my elementary school, you had to summarize what you'd read every single day. after a while of trying and failing to do so legitimately, I recall giving up and literally *making up entire fake books* just so that I could write that I'd "read" them. I got 100% on all of the reading logs from that point forwards.
that’s why I spent an hour calculating the most “realistic” reading log i could come up with- i counted the pages and multiplied them by the time it took me to read one page of the book
God, I remember those stupid things. I just wanted to read, man. I would read a book, put the title, then rate the book as 'good'. Then I would move to the next book. I fully completed two of them (probably about 40 entries each) in a year. Why do they even have them? Kids who don't want to read will just lie and kids who do want to read will read with or without the logs.
Same 100%. The thing was, I actually did read a lot, but I never remembered to log it, so couldn't remember which all books I had read and when. I would log the tiniest books for 10 days straight in grade 2.
I never had these. We just had to write comprehensive book reports. I wasn't generally a person to just use sparknotes. I would just skip around to parts that i found interesting and make up a whole paper going on a nonsense tangent with a philosophical undertone. Teachers ate up what was essentially me just goofing around
Im polish so I never had "reading logs" but I actually remember dreaming abt them not knowing some countries actually have em, like imagine instead of having to read the assigned long ass old books using language nobody understands, instead being able to just read any book you want to? like hell yeah
I remember when in elementary school, they counted chapter books as 1 "book" per chapter, and I had a book that had chapters that were like 2 pages long.
I remember I literally made up a book and pretended to read it so I could fill out the reading log and I somehow never got caught. Elementary school me was a con man.
Fr bro. My reading log was literally diary of a wimpy kid all week for 35 minutes and of course I was lying. And my mom was on board with it so she just signed it.
Reading logs?... *Cue Vietnam flashbacks* Now that's a term I haven't heard in a long, long time. A long time. Such familiarity, yet mild dread. I couldn't quite form the image in my head until the reading log showed up. Yup. Filled it all the way down from the top, maybe after 3 entries max... I felt like I was the only one who did, and certainly as much. Once for a book report, my dad asked me how far I got through. I told him the truth. He didn't believe me, so I lied and told him I was further along than I really was lmao. And the book reports, literally reading it the night before. The exhilaration. Would pick that over the stresses, ambiguity and despair of adult life any day of the week...
That signature one hits close to home. In middle school I lost my lunch cause I "forged my mom's signature"... I didn't. She just has bad handwriting/ a childlike signature and told me I should have gotten my dad to sign it but he was already at work. Best thing is this teacher disliked me solely cause I was Christian and didn't agree with her views on the LGBTQ (I was 11 and my only views were fed to me by the church/parents (I'm better now)) so she didn't even let me call my mom to tell her she actually did sign it.
Literally. I had all the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books (still do, bought the new one last year) and I would read them in school. I can finish one in 2 hours.
I remember I used to be real smart about it. I’d always use different writing utensils, and then I’d switch back and forth between writing with my left hand and my right hand so it didn’t look too similar.
When I saw the title, I actually thought it was referring to pillows shaped like logs that kids layed on to read. I honestly do not remember ever doing reading logs on elementary school (then again, I barely remember ANYTHING from elementary school).
This gives me horrible flashbacks of when schools would assign summer reading. I'd put it off until August a week before school started and find out the book is outrageously long or extremely boring. It was always a book they chose and you'd be tested on it on the first day of school or something.
We would always get those every week in 3rd grade. It required us to choose a book for the week (that had chapters), read a fraction of it every day, and take something called an AR test about the book. I would always lie and put a random number of pages I read everyday, but since I knew nothing about the book, I would fail almost every AR test and get an F on it. I still passed 3rd grade despite having failed the AR tests almost every time lol
I found a book with like one page of comic for each capter and asked my teacher if that was ok. Proceeded to just lightly skim the chapter and read the comic and proceed from there
Man, i remember those reading log things I haven't looked back on those little booklet things in so long to the point they're a dust pile 😂 Anyway, my Mum was the one who wrote in those for me, since i was already asleep by the time i'd finished reading. I don't read books during the day since it gives me a headache
In my school we had a test to take to prove that you read the whole thing, and if you passed you got a free personal pizza coupon. I abused tf outta that system 😂
The only time I remember having to do a reading log was in early middle school, when I did it over Christmas break, and it was so I could stay at the school until 10, when the entire library was turned into something straight outta Harry Potter
I actually read the whole library during third grade because our teacher was an actual demon, and she'd make you take AR tests/write small summaries of the books, then go home on the weekend with your test results/summary, and read the entire book herself if she thought you were lying. Every other kid took the hit to their grade, I was one of like 9 kids in her whole class that didn't lie. And the one time I thought about lying, I told her that I'd forgotten my mom's signature and she let it slide. I have very mixed feelings about that teacher.
I was actually a good reader and I read like a book really fast. I finished Lord of The Rings in like 2 weeks. I had to convince my 5th grade teacher that I actually read it by writing an essay about it. I decided to pick boring books for my reading book after that.
jeez, i loved reading as a kid so i’d always do double my time if not triple never even realized people lied on those. i had to get my mum’s signature for every hour + i’d always explicitly ask her to set the timer for an hour anytime i’d read since she didn’t sign if i didn’t give proof
i remember actually reading one time but forgot the signature and then my teacher took me out in the hallway putting me on the verge of tears saying i could go to jail for forgery and get kicked out of school. I never read again, and would always write my moms signature about 5 seconds before she checked it.
If I was the teacher I would tell them to prove it by telling me a page that I flip to randomly to prove they actually read the book everyday if they do it it’s an automatic A on the next assignment.
We were forced to read specific books, but my reading level was way beyond what was expected. I was reading novels in my own time, no credit given, meanwhile lying and saying I read through this boring 10 page picture book cause I couldn't be bothered.
Teacher: Why do I have 4K evidence of you egging my house??!!! Grant: *bursts into laughter* Teacher: IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!!!! I think the analytics would beg to differ 🤣
See what’s funny is now I could have a new book written for everyday cause once I start a book if I hyper fixate on it I’ll read it all the way through in one sitting
I didn't. At first, our parents filled it out, and then we had to do it and write about what happened. Never lied about it and probably could do so if I tried
We had to take online quizes on the books which had these colored dots on them that determined what reading level they were and you were only allowed to take a quiz on a book that was within your reading level range but a lot of books were mislabeled so if you read a book that was out of your reading limit you couldn’t take the test your time spent reading wouldn’t count and the teachers would blame you
In my defense, I would read entire books in one sitting in middle school. Except I didn't want to get a new book constantly, so I would just spread out the time over a period. There may or may not have been some additional hours added in.
This was when I first learned it was possible to take shortcuts with homework. All I did was pick a Harry Potter book, pick a random number of minutes and pages around 15, profit. Sometimes I would be sure to end with a page of a chapter just to be safe.
I don't remember if I had reading logs or not, but what I do remember is that my mom got called in because I did not read at all, like at most I'd read school books but no story books or library books lol.
I remember once in 6th grade, i hadnt read for the entire year and needed to fill out my log, so i just wrote down made up book names and put all the authors names as COD Black Ops characters. I was never caught, lmao.
I actually did read, but I was really forgetful about filling in the logs and getting my mom’s signature. Luckily I could forge my moms signature really well (she taught me how to copy it lol)
