Diana,

I think it’d be great to sit in on your class. But that’s a long commute.

Besides, they’d probably prefer that I not get too close to Cheyenne Mountain. I’ve been known to cause inconvenient power outages, fires, etc.

Maybe you should come take my class, Dave. ;) I think I could bring you some S-pleasure.

Diana,

My English teacher tried her best, but we were a tough crowd. (Literally. The guy who sat in front of me in her class went to the Marine Corps to avoid a grand theft conviction. They sent him home.) She tried to get me moved to a different class with students that were more interested in actually learning, but my schedule wouldn’t permit it.

I gave up on Shakespeare in high school, too. It wasn’t until I read King Henry IV Part 2 that I fell in love with him. I think it’s something you have to realize with age….”

Or maybe you just didn’t have a very good teacher.

Diana,

I gave up on Shakespeare early. We studied Julius Caesar in 10th grade English, but while the teacher knew the material, she didn’t know how to get it across to a bunch of kids whose idea of culture was paying to see a PG rated movie instead of sneaking into the R rated one.

Wish my Shakespeare teacher had done some of these things; it would have livened the class, and more students would like the bard! Keep doing things “off the wall", so to speack!
