In all seriousness, I personally think it’s a great idea to introduce kids to Shakespeare at a young age, even if extreme cuts have been made. Shakespeare is hard for most people to tackle, and the sooner one can begin to appreciate it, the better. Especially if that initial introduction to Shakespeare is done prior to Jr. High or High School, where Shakespeare generally begins to gain its bad reputation due to less-than-entertaining teaching methods and environments.

Kudos to Cygnet!
