After the reference to Polonius’s advice, I can only read “a consummation much to be desired” as invoking Hamlet’s “consummation devoutly to be wished.” It’s debatable whether Polonius is really a good source of advice, but I’d certainly never invoke Hamlet’s suicidal thoughts in advice to children.
