Is Shakespeare not taught in DCPS?

But I’m a little dissatisfied, I didn’t get the ‘word salad’ comment.

And just an FYI I wasn’t making a point for Shakespeare being removed, more like just laughing at this thread, that is just so white mom. What will you do if Karen and Brad don’t learn about Shakespeare in school?!

I think because DCPS can be or is trying to really be more black and a little more non-white hispanic focused some of you forget the real world is not. I’m sure their university English class will talk about Shakespeare. Or hey, you can have them read it for a leisure activity.

You are doing very good at disparaging your own intellect.

Yawn.

In the real world, mediocrities who use identity politics to try to sound sophisticated usually end up being exposed for what they really are: poorly educated

Oh no! It’s because I didn’t read enough Shakespeare isn’t it? Darn, how will I ever impress my middle aged friends now?

If your friends are anything like you I doubt they are "middel aged" (oh! the horror!) and I know they don't read Shakespeare. I'm guessing. .. Harry Potter?

Sorry to break it to you, they don't consider you a friend. It's the word salad, they couldn't ake it anymore.

Thank you! But this is still a tad unsatisfactory since that comment doesn’t really fit the ‘word salad’ definition. Please copy and paste the last part in one of my longer replies. Please and thank you!

Love,

The Shakespeare word salad fan club

That was sarcasm. And I do not like Harry Potter as the author continues to not support the LGBTQ community and that’s not right.

OMG you are so thick you don't even see what you walked right into. . . .LOL. Go back to hate-liking your "friends" Instagram posts, troll. Come back here when you're actually doing grown up things like raising children and working and paying a mortgage.

I don’t have an insta. Interesting how you think having a child makes you an adult when there are millions of homeless children, children who are raped and have a child, etc.

And I own my home, spoiled little me. I’m married, I’m not 15. Chill. Also FYI there are 15 year olds these days who own, social media is crazy.

Thanks for the life lesson though!

I promise Shakespeare isn’t the only author who helps student’s comprehension. The fact that there is a whole thread on this is a testament to white privilege.

And yes, I am bringing race into it because once again, you fail to see how complaining about this makes you look. Mostly not that it was asked but the ignorant comments alluding to teaching about black, brown, Asian, native people is ‘too political.’

And we live in a politically charged world, everything is actually about politics. So yes there will be more and more minority authors studied that YOU, old white mom, may not have studied and that’s ok.

Your child will not fall into a cesspool of illiteracy and lack critical thinking.

Also who says Shakespeare isn’t being studied? I graduated from walls less than 5 years ago and I did study Shakespeare.

It’s not about race. It’s about ENGLISH. Shakespeare is an foundational writer of English literature , and we happen to speak English here in the US and schools here operate in English. That doesn’t mean we aren’t diverse in race, heritage, culture, etc. but in English and Language Arts, the writers studied — whatever their demographics - generally write/wrote in English.

I like this comment because at the same time you’re expressing authority, you seem to be losing control of your language.

All of the subsequent literature you mention (Native American, women in lit, African, etc.) is only possible to understand and comprehend in Anglo society, because of Shakespeare. His writing and use of the language is peerless. I promise that of all of the "womens lit" classes you took, you did not encounter an author as important to the foundation of culture and society as Shakespeare.

And it doesn't matter if there are (not "their are") "tons" of more interesting books for youth than Shakespeare. School is not a candy factory, dumbed down to the level of teaching what is of interest to teenagers. Sixteen year olds don't know what they need to know. It is up to educated adults to present to students the information that they need to read and digest in order to become properly educated, literate, functioning members of society, and to advance their way in academia. If you don't understand that, your education failed you.

It’s only possible because England literally colonized Africans and indigenous people. Had y’all stayed in your own country this wouldn’t be a conversation. Stop giving yourself credit you don’t deserve colonizer.
