If Shakespeare is badly taught, then why burden students who may grow older only to hate the thought of his plays. If a teacher can get the excitement across, the love of language and also dispel the fear of 16th century English, then they will benefit. I learned to love the bard only in college. Hamlet, Henry IV parts 1 &2, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure are but some of the gems out there that I call my favorites.
