To all teachers of English, a question.?

Please know that familiarity with the acknowledged masters of English is the mark of an educated person. Much of our present day English is based on the writings of Shakespeare, hence the suggestions that students should read him. There are a thousand (?) levels of English courses. We might just as well teach: Milton, Dickens, Austen or Hemingway. English is taught and learned in levels from pre-school through post-PHD. I suggest you take your posting to an English teacher and ask that it be graded.
