DS1 (10) came home from school yesterday bubbling with excitement, because they'd spent all morning (3 hrs) learning about Shakespeare and Hamlet ... I haven't seen him so enthused about anything in a long time, so top marks to his teacher.
She'd used a very simplified version of the plot, which ds1 had read before; and they are also going to be seeing "Shakespeare for Kidz" at a local theatre. (Beetroot will be shuddering at this point.)
But he then came home and asked for a copy of the full original text, and spent a long time reading that last night!
If that can be the response, it restores my faith in the value of the 'dumbed-down' versions.
