We don't know yet lancsdave how these lessons will be implemented and if to the detriment of other subjects ... let's give it a chance.
Throughout my own, daughter's, son's (big gap in age) grandaughter's education have never noticed any neglect
whatsover in the teaching of our own language .. English Grammar/Literature abounds. For those children who have not got the natural talent of being a spelling/grammar guru, they will surely pick up verbally another language as they have with the
spoken language of our mother country, and can do them no harm in life. For those that are good at these subjects, why should they be penalized for the ones that aren't so good ?
Sorry, cannot agree with your negative and cynical views.
