[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pride and Prejudice Henry IV, Part 1 Romeo and Juliet Importance of Being Earnest Beowulf Canterbury Tales[/quote] Serious question: why are kids still required to read Shakespeare? Impossibly dull, difficult to understand, and far more relevant texts out there for the themes. I was an honors English student (years and years ago). I hated it then and hate it even now. I can't think of one useful thing it gave me. And, almost everyone in HS used crib notes for at least some understanding of it. From talking to HS kids now, that remains the same.[/quote]
