Shakespeare Too Much for Middle Schoolers!

Since when is Shakespeare too much for middle schoolers? In English Class for 7th and 8th Grade (I didn't go to middle school I went to Jr. High) we were reading Shakespeare and had to take tests on it. Sure some of it was over our head but it wasn't that we dind't understand what he was saying over all, we had a tough time with the language. So the teacher busted it down for us!

Read the above story and shake your head right along with me. Shakespeare is still causing a ruckas and the poor man has been dead for HOW long? And people wonder why our kids anymore our lacking in proper reading skills, proper ideas, and have NO clue what classics are really about! We have a bunch of do gooders in school positions and do gooding parents that don't know how to introduce their children into the world of liturture! Or hell even History!

Dag Nabbit! Those dayum whipper snappers! See my age is showing:P:D

I know and then my poor kids are going to have to go on a Emo hunt cause they just got the lecture yesterday that I am NOT a Liberal parent and if you do bad or fuck up, I will be the FIRST person to say you can do better and boo hoo you lost it is apart of life. Suck it up and get over it because you may be smart or fast or what ever but there is ALWAYS someone out there who is smarter and faster. That lecture came about from Coltin being an ASS at Taekowndo!

And on top of that, in our area newspaper they are debating about banning Booing from highschool sports stadiums in the city! How screwed up is that!
