Ban the Reading of Romeo and Juliet by Ninth Graders?
An organized parent group has petitioned the Board of Education and stated their positive approval of the discontinued reading of Romeo and Juliet by students in classes lower then tenth grade. ... Ninth graders may seem like childish adolescents to adults but they have obtained enough life experience to handle the themes and subject matters discussed in Romeo and Juliet. ... Ninth grade students are not too immature to read the play due to the fact that most of the various topics discussed in it have already occurred in their life. ... In Romeo and Juliet, lust is the feeling that ignites the entire play. While Romeo is at the Capulet party he sees Juliet for the first time and automatically falls in “love” with her. ... Romeo had also “loved” Rosaline before he met Juliet but this was yet another confusion with lust. It is specifically shown when he immediately forgets about her and “falls in love” with Juliet.
