Do the Beastie Boys count as School?



One day I showed funny clips of As You Like It to our kids after reading the Lamb's version. It was culture at its height, they understood it, it was poetic, it was beauty in motion set in a Japanese backdrop of holistic transformation...

Then that night my husband whipped out a couple Beastie Boys videos (appropriate ones). Now I love the Beastie Boys as much as the next person (appropriate ones) and yet  I found myself prompting the kids "remember the Shakespeare we saw today?" " all the world's a stage" "are you getting ...any... of this?".
