It always make me a bit nervous when a concept or idea has to have Greek words in it.
Curriculum...is one.

Sometimes I wonder about you.

You catch on quick! Haha

If you'd just take the time to get to know me better, more intimately. ..
The wonder and amazement would fade.
It'd only take a minute.

Was this some sort of joke intended to put me in the hospital? If so, it almost succeeded. Some of the North Korean propaganda I had to wade through couldn't hold a candle to that.

I spent quite a bit of time reading through the site, and couldn't find any reference to this question:

Where and how was it tested before implementation?


Once again, the answer is "it wasn't", so any talk- ANY- about how great it is is nothing more than empty speculation.

Shakespeare. Why the **** is Shakespeare still considered so important? Makes me want to puke.

Because he was cognizant of familial power struggles. and got to the root of the desire to imposes one's will upon another.
Now to paraphrase ..... Why the **** is 18th century perspecive still considered so applicable, appropriate and important?

[assateague]

Maybe he was. But why is that important? And if something is fundamentallly unintelligible, is it still "valuable" as a learning tool?


Here's the way I think it played out:


Teacher in 1793:
"Shakespeare is sooooo good."

Teacher in 1804:
"Shakespeare sucks, but my teacher said he was brilliant, so if I don't understand it, that must mean I'm dumb. So I better pretend he's brilliant, too."


And so on and so on, throughout history, perpetuated by both former students and teachers who are afraid to admit he sucks for fear of appearing intellectually negligent.

Well, this guy isn't. He sucks. It's questionable whether he even wrote the damn things. They were written for very "base" audiences, and could almost be called the soap operas of the 1600's. If, 400 years from now, we can have managed to perpetuate the belief that Days of Our Lives was high literature, to the point that it is mandatory in all high school curriculum, would that make it so? Or is that just nonsense? Because I assure you, soap operas are "cognizant of familial power struggles and the desire to control others".

Shakespeare was a master of the English language. He was very advanced for his time. He created a lot of the words we use every day. It has a lot more to do with that than his actual stories. Although, most of his stories can relate to the problems and feelings we have today.

Personally I find it pretty rude for "Pintail" to post on Assa's thread! Just kidding, Pintail, kind of an inside joke!

I'm starting to think assa really hates pintails.

You have no idea

"Shakespeare sucks, but my teacher said he was brilliant, so if I don't understand it, that must mean I'm dumb. So I better pretend he's brilliant, too."

Reminds me of what they used to say about Rolls Royces....the car sucks, but who wants to admit they spent $300K on a piece of crap?

[assateague]

Precisely.

[assateague]

I'm sure there's a "real" term for that syndrome, but I don't know what it is. "Dumbass Avoidance Syndrome" or some such.

[aunt betty]

What William Shakespeare did that was significant is built the first "modern" theater in England. It was named The Globe.
The screen play dramas we watch on television today are direct descendants of that time.

[assateague]

Shakespeare sucketh.

[DeadEye_Dan]

Didn't we have a thread once where we converted gangsta rap songs into Shakespearean English??
