Why would you expect anyone to bring a Bible to Mass? They're there to attend Mass -- to share in offering the Eternal Sacrifice of the Son, to follow the Mass prayers; we don't bring the works of the Church Fathers either.
Same with school (you mean to read during a boring math class?) and catechism class, where you study the catechism.
Why would soldiers leave their armor and instruction manuel at home?

Yes, exactly my point! There is no official prescribed time or place for Catholics to read the bible. I am sure Rome says it's a good practice (lip service) to read the scripture, but I never heard it in 27 years. The bible is a very low priority while the Rosary is (most about Mary) one of the highest priority.
