How many killings are there in Romeo and Juliet?
Feel free to look it up.
History is taught in social studies class. No need to overwork students by having them read pointless literature from 700 years ago on top of that. Romance is what causes the violence, as does in modern society.

Bingo.
Why is it pointless to read why we kill each other in the past?
So we can "immunize" ourselves in the present?
As I said, anyone with common sense knows this already just by living in modern society. Crimes of passion and dysfunctional lives due to relationships gone wrong is the leading cause of problems in the world. Generation Z knows this and doesn't need sexualized school lectures to understand that.
Are you an English teacher or something?

You are correct, and don't let any adults brai wash you otherwise. People don't need a "well-rounded" education to function in the real world. People only need basic math and science/critical thinking skills and a useful trade. Analyzing crap written by humans from the 12th century is totally pointless in every aspect of life.
GrossTissue, chess is a brain game, probably increases logical thinking much more than 90% of school subjects.

Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licóur
Of which vertú engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye,
So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially, from every shires ende
Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.
Bifil that in that seson on a day,
In Southwerk at the Tabard as I lay,
Redy to wenden on my pilgrymage
To Caunterbury with ful devout corage,
At nyght were come into that hostelrye
Wel nyne and twenty in a compaignye
Of sondry folk, by áventure y-falle
In felaweshipe, and pilgrimes were they alle,
That toward Caunterbury wolden ryde.
The chambres and the stables weren wyde,
And wel we weren esed atte beste.
And shortly, whan the sonne was to reste,
So hadde I spoken with hem everychon,
That I was of hir felaweshipe anon,
And made forward erly for to ryse,
To take oure wey, ther as I yow devyse.
But nathelees, whil I have tyme and space,
Er that I ferther in this tale pace,
Me thynketh it acordaunt to resoun
To telle yow al the condicioun
Of ech of hem, so as it semed me,
And whiche they weren and of what degree,
And eek in what array that they were inne;
And at a Knyght than wol I first bigynne.
I think it was funny how my high school blocked sites with the word chess in it but not chess.com itself.

The black texture just made my life so hard...especially with my chess background.

But it doesn't match well with my background in chess. Once you click on my profile, you will understand.

Well, I'm not gonna stop using black ink. It's what I've been reading 60 years.

I know what u mean of course. I'm just stating the black colour font you used was hard to read for me. I didn't mean anything else.
Literature with any romance topics whatsoever is inappropriate to teach to 14-15 year olds. All of this is just an excuse people who like em younger make. Topics like that corrupt the minds and souls of young people.
Romeo and Juliet is not about "romance". It ain't a Harlequin paperback novel.
It's about killing.
Here's the video, again.
