Having gone to high school in Toronto a bit over 20 years ago, I did find the Shakespeare portions of English classes (grades 10 through OAC) to be the most useless things in high school education. I wish they would have taught grammar, punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, business writing, and essay writing instead of Shakespearean literature, Michael Ondaatje, and Charles Peepeeens.
This isn't the only commenter whining about not having grammar lessons. What do leaves do for their first 9 years of English class and then the rest? We were reviewing grammar through the very end of school.

I read 'Great Expectations' in Grade 8.
I also remember 'Pride & Prejudice'.
