Why don't contemporary secondary school students like to read ancient texts?

Have you ever thought that ancient Chinese is similar to English? If English can be learned well, then ancient Chinese is not difficult to learn.

The grammar of modern Chinese is much diluted and even less standardized, but the grammar of ancient Chinese is very much like that of English, very strict and rule-based, so I think it would be better for a foreigner to learn modern Chinese than to learn the literary language;

The multiple meanings of a word is a feature of ancient Chinese, but it is easier to remember the meaning of a word if you go after the original meaning of the word, and then the meanings that come out of it. This is also like the English language, let's say as the word by a lot of meaning, like, for example, etc., there are a lot of phrases as for, as soon as a lot, how can we all remember it? In ancient Chinese, for example, the word "dao" originally meant "road", but then it was extended to mean "way", just like the English word "way", which can be known by association, and there are only so many Chinese characters in common use, so if there is a new word, you can just combine them, while in English, you usually have to create a new spelling.

I think society is responsible for the fact that middle school students don't like to learn the language. This environment teaches us to learn practical things, the ancient Chinese language can do what use, modern people and do not speak the ancient language; to learn from the classics in the reason is not necessary to learn, the market has a vernacular version of the sale. I am a student biology, the teacher asked us to hand in an article on neurodegenerative diseases, handed in and found that everyone wrote AD, and the references are similar, the teacher said that you have to look at the original text (English literature), the Chinese is generally a secondary review, that way does not represent your own views. But you think about my English level and how can I understand those profound things? Although the teacher is a little unrealistic, but from his words can be seen in the language to understand the meaning of a work how important, now learning English too many people, but how many people can do proficient, can be like reading Chinese literature to appreciate the English classics? Learning ancient Chinese is at least a little bit of Chinese foundation and environmental atmosphere, so my college English goal is to pass the fourth and sixth grade, rather than spend so much effort to memorize words, it is better to look at the classics of their own country, perhaps from which I can get some life experience. And learning ancient Chinese is one of the very important points, so that you can read those most original things, the white version is frankly a secondary synthesis, I read it myself, evaluate it myself, and extract what I think is important, which is much better than picking up others and then picking up others again.
