Re: Compulsory Language Lessons

While in principle, it may seem like a good idea...wouldn't it be better to ensure that pupils are numerate and literate? It seems that many children leave school with only the very basics...and to be honest you have to have a good grasp of English to learn a foreign language...unless of course they are only going to do conversational stuff.
