I am an expat parent who has children in the American school system currently. I want to supplement my daughters' education with the British school system but cannot understand why the English national curriculum is centered around Shakespeare. I understand the cultural knowledge it gives us, but am not sure if I should enforce this onto my daughter now, as currently she is not learning Shakespeare at all.
I want her to focus on spelling, grammar, essay writing and comprehension and don't think she will miss anything if she doesn't learn Shakespeare now.
So my question is - as I am not clear on the English national curriculum will it be a big mistake not to introduce Shakespeare into my child's learning now, considering we might join the system within the next two years?
