As a teacher myself, I think it's vital that Shakespeare is taught imaginatively and with enormous enthusiasm, otherwise youngsters may be put of for life.
A stuffy, boring English teacher droning on and on from various plays with obscure vocabulary could induce somnolence (or misbehaviour!).

I was incredibly lucky with Mr Shearn. I now have an idea that he was gay, as he was wonderfully flamboyant and almost acted out the roles as he read them to us. He made us laugh, sad, a bit frightened and horrified in turns. Wonderful teacher.
A bit like that film Dead Poets' Society.
