I got a sensational wide raging education because my parents sent me to a Religious (Anglican) Private Boys School.
They give you a much better and wider education.
Religious Studies is stupidly thought to be about one Religion and theology, when in practice it's about religious history and the Majority Religion in the country(Christianity) and every other Religion with time devoted in appropriate measure. It's really a focused version of "cultural studies".
English studies is about English, so it makes sense the literature used is English Literature. That's pretty stupid saying other cultures and languages should be represented in the school reading when the subject is in fact English Language Studies.
Those others should be read in the appropriate language class. If I study French, I should get a view of French literature(as I did). Not have French classics on my reading for English Literature (with the exception of Translation study purposes). I mean Shakespeare is naturally going to dominate English reading lists, RIGHTFULLY.
I studied:
MacBeth(School made us watch Roman Polanski's super-violent adaptation....)
Romeo & Juliet
Julius Caesar
Othello
Hamlet
Henry V
and several others across my indepth 2 subject(English + English Literature) multi-year study of my own language.
My favourite classes because I loved the Bard already..... I don't regret my school zeroing in on Shakespeare like mad. He is the greatest English language author ever.
