David Archuleta Gets Schooled

Posted Mar 6th 2008 2:23PM by TMZ Staff

David ArchuletaHe may be the one to beat on "American Idol," but David Archuleta still has a lot to learn!

The 17-year-old gets on-set tutoring for three hours a day while on "Idol," but TMZ has obtained the required reading list of lil' David's 11th grade class at Murray High School.

While David has been belting out John Lennon and Phil Collins classics, students at his Utah high school have been trudging through the classics like "Catcher in the Rye," "The Crucible," "The Great Gatsby," "Macbeth," "Much Ado About Nothing," and "Hamlet." Will he win or not win -- that is the question!

6. He's okay I guess ...but that loud breathing technique is very distracting.

9. That just shows what these child stars miss out on. I seriously doubt he's going to read any of those books. :-(

13. Big deal, in our school distirct those are required reading too

14. I am pretty impressed at the reading list required by his school. Somehow I don't think he goes to public school. I wonder how many of the so-called adults who post such inane comments on this site have actually read any of the afore-mentioned books?

15. Look at that face? Those lips? His eyes? And, of course, his voice. He's a talented, gorgeous wet dream who will appeal to girls, boys, gays, and tweeners. It took AI 7 seasons to find him but trust me, he's going to win the competition and have a long career.
