William Shakespeare

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I am so sick of the fact we have to read Shakespeare in school. Being forced to read stories that are so old that they are irrelevant to and needless for our times is bad enough, like any other classic literature, but what makes this egregious is that the so-called "English" is so HARD TO READ! No one writes like that anymore, so why force us to read it? Teachers could've made us read modern business or academic papers for teaching English at maximum level, NOT THIS! To quote a certain 2000s pop punk song, "I don't need to read Billy Shakespeare, meet Juliet or Malvolio. Feel for once what it's like to rebel now. I want to break out, let's go!" ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 00:00, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
