I don't think studying Tolkein in school would be a good idea. If you force kids to read a book they're not interested in, they'll hate it and you could put them off Tolkein for life. We have to study Lord of the Flies for an exam, and we have to go into it in such detail it takes all the fun out of it and I've really grown to dislike the book. If they made me study Tolkien in such detail, I'd be devastated, as it would put me of my favourite book, and stop it being relaxing and fun to read. [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]
