It is easyer for four year old kids to learn about the write about shakespeares. Since they have not been thought that much they can understand about shakespeare better than us teens, that beenig because we alredy know lots more than then so is difficult for us to understand shakespear. so we have more difficult times with his book in reading and understand it.

Shakespeare plays are full of hate and horrible violence, what kind of person would you be introducing to children in schools for god sake the truth and lies about life. Children should not need to even come to understand or be aware of such bruttale things. Children's hearts are full of love and hope why would you want to take their purity in life at such an early age. I say "NO" on Shakespeare, but "YES" on the earlier education. Our generation is said to not be progessing so educating four year olds in language; that is not so brutale and heart breaking could be our conback. Children can..."gain knowledge and provide an impact on our future would..." with out Shakespeare. I think the idea of educating children at four with “Shakespreare” is irresponsible and foolish.

They should totally start teaching young minds so that they can gain knowledge and a different perspective, something that will definetely have an impact on our future world.
