Using Classic Literature To Break Internet Addiction

A Chinese teacher has broken a young girl's internet addiction by making her read and recite Chinese classics (here's the article). The report describes one family's problem with their young daughter, who was finding all sorts of ways to get online despite the efforts of her parents. They enrolled her in this teacher's school, and it seems his methods have broken her addiction. Some have criticized the teacher's methods, but based on the report, the family is doing better now. I wonder if this method will work in other places of the world in breaking all kinds of addictions, internet or otherwise. Anyone for reciting Florante at Laura? :)
