all of those books are good books to teach, if taught correctly.

the issue here is that "reading" education shouldnt be done by assigning one book to all students, but a book relevant to each student individually.

this allows for a larger breadth of experience and lead to more productive discussion of concepts. student a likes their book and suggest students c and b read it so they can better understand suchandsuch topic, turning students into teachers.

unfortunately, standardised education does not have any goal beyond bare minimum regurgitation of accepted knowledge
