I'm grateful we did Shakepseare at school ('King Lear' in my case). Like Solicitous, our (brilliant) teacher took us on an exploration of Elizabethan life and thought, it was thrilling! I think I got far more out of studying it then, than I would going cold to it as an adult.
The idea that schoolchildren should only study books written for children seems a bit odd.
