Discussion Forum - Should Shakespeare be required reading in High School?

Start discussions: 1 Post replies: 3

There is no regulation or requirement in Ontario schools that students must read and study a play written by William Shakespeare during their high school education. However, many English teachers feel there is great value and much to be learned from introducing his works to students before they graduate.

If you were an English teacher would you teach one of his plays to your class? Why or why not?  Let’s have a spirited discussion of this topic by sharing some of our own likes and dislikes about having to study one of Shakespeare’s plays.
