For past 45 years, in India, dramas of Shakespeare is compulsory, for students from 8th grade to 2 year of under graduation. They have study. They are selected on rotation basis, by a committee. (i.e. 7 years, 7 dramas).

I think the official answer is too hard and not really relevant. I love Shakespeare. I have seen King Lear as well as read it and it is great. Othello is also great . Teachers seem to get scared of the tragedies maybe because of the passion in them and seem to stick more with the Tragicomedy. I think they are harder to get across to young people ( I didn't just say that did I?). I think that the whole Comedy part of the word gives the wrong impression so students lose interest. Plus to many teachers don't understand and love the bard and this reflects in their teaching. Kids need to be inspired by theatre, It is a visual medium and I think this gets lost in the class room setting. So the teachers get bored and the students do too.

Knowledge about language is the basic need for every student.Then only they understand the lessons and they can answer the questions with their own thoughts. But at the same time language should not be a burden.Most of the times it happens.So plays like King Lier should be put in literature degree courses and not is schools.

Why, O why, can you not learn to spell LEAR?
Because neither did you learn what it is to be a Liar.
Nor learn the difference between a Lawyer and a Liar, -( they often are the same!)
So 'hier' is fine in French, but in English we say 'here', do you hear?
To know the subtleties of all this, we must have higher education!

Because our education system has become sloppy, weak and lazy. Simple as that. Rarely is it taught that it is o.k. to stretch your brain a bit.
