I think, having now read Midsummer Night's Dream for the first time (I've seen it a few times before, but never read it) I would like to see one of the tragedies studied early on - probably Julius Caesar - replaced with that. Taught right, it's just a high school melodrama set in ancient Athens. I can picture a few of my too-cool-to-breathe grade eights from a few years ago, making a good go of Hermia and Helena's chick fight.
