Why Children Should Not Learn Shakespeare
Shakespeare didn't write school text books, his plays are meant to be either watched or performed
Shakespeare's works can help children develop communication skills in the English language, love for literature and much more but only if the child is involved with it in a performance and not just in a classroom, writing exams on it.
