Although years ago, I always thought the best plate would be something like 55SS55S or 11ll11l to confuse the cops. But that's if I drove fast, which I don't do anymore. Noap.

I actually did that before. Combination of B's and 8's. I don't remember getting ticketed in that car so I never was able to test it

I think there is Shakespeare that has its place. You may not want to slog them through the big tragedies at first, but the comedies work well, especially if you can get the kids to a semi-decent performance as a supplement.

We tackled Midsummer's in 8th grade and it was fine. I don't recall if we used a modernized language version or not...but I think it was the original text (and we did all have to memorize the "Set your heart at rest..." passage). You can also get copies of books that include plain English translations alongside the text or in the footnotes.

I am sure we did more in 9th grade--recollection is fuzzy, but maybe everyone read Romeo and Juliet and then everyone had to choose another play (probably all comedies) to read and present on to the class. Didn't try to do Hamlet until we were segregated off into the IB English class in either 11th or 12th grade (and I doubt the people in "normal" English had to read it).


Screw that. I did Macbeth in 9th grade, and loved it. Arcane language or not, that is a stupidly awesome play. The entire class had a great time.

Hey, remember that time that everybody was the same as you?

It's like some couple in the Australian Outback got bored and decided to raise their daughter on Missy Elliott videos

watched her performing on stage on tv... she sounds like some white kid singing in a mall or outlet center because her parents told her she can be anything she wants to be.
