If it is worthwhile to teach people how to use the language effectively, it would be foolish not to have a look at the greatest writer ever in the English language. Shakespeare's work is so important to us culturally that the numerous allusions made to it in popular culture would go right over the head of someone who has not been exposed to Shakespeare, and they would miss a lot of what is going on.
That being said, unfortunately there are many teachers out there who think that a course on Shakespeare should be called "Why You Should Hate Shakespeare". They put a lot of effort into getting students to look at Shakespeare's plays as badly written and incomprehensible novels, to be afraid of his language (and then to offer "No Fear" versions with the language stripped away), and to use strange and artificial concepts like "tragic hero", "Freytag's Pyramid", and "hubris" to confuse them as to what is really happening. Such teaching methods do more harm than good.

There is no record of the name of Shakespeare's teacher when he attended grammar school. He was certainly not taught by the Ben Johnson who was a Canadian sprinter. He was also certainly not taught by Ben Jonson (please note the spelling), the playwright, who was younger than Shakespeare.
