That cumbersome language may sound romantic to sheep. Just saying
But is it worth making it compulsory in schools all the way to GCSE level at the expense of learning a modern language, (French/German) reducing childrens future employability across Europe/the world. Should they be making it a factor in public sector jobs (which are the only ones with decent job security) ensuring that these go to people who grew up west of an imaginary line regardless of their actual ability to perform the job?
I would have no problem with it were it optional, but it's a compulsory waste of time and the kids treat it as such.
