they don't teach romance and mystery books either.

because they aren't literature. they are popular entertainment.

English teachers don't love it, they teach it because it's part of the standard curriculum of books they are allowed to teach. there are standard lists of books from which they get to pick, usually selected by the state or school board.

which is why pretty much every student reads the same books across the country, give or take a few different ones.
