Why I believe Hamlet is not necessary in a High School curriculum

What can I learn in a fictional dictation of the important aspects of life in Shakespeare's Hamlet that I cannot learn in today's world in an understandable manner? To defend my point that it is in fact an out-dated source of material, I ask, What is the definition of modern day success? My answer would be to make money and to make a difference. Shakespeare's Hamlet teaches us the medieval viewpoints on topics such as Jealousy, Madness and Distrust. Nearly 400 years later, today, we can learn such aspects of life through the adverse internet society; twitter, Facebook and many other social media websites. To become successful, I believe that our youth need not study Hamlet, for the hours, weeks and occasionally months of paid classes, constantly studying the deeper meaning of something that 90% of educated society will forget in the mayhem of real life, but should learn to properly write things that relate to modern success. Learn to write documents such as a resume, a contract, and the hundreds of other agreements, that we yet again, pay more and more of our time away to learn how to write, when we could be doing that now.

The truth is that success is also caused by happiness in whatever you do. Hamlet, could spark happiness in many.

Here's what I believe Hamlet does teach us....

Hamlet, just as any other great piece of literature is a cause of conversation. People can interact and have conflicted opinions on this, creating diverse opportunity for conversation and opinion, which is key to success in many areas of life, being able to interact with the people around you.
