Agree with Doodab. Foreign languages very important and, quite apart from the arty/feelings/etc side, poetry IMO is a tool in effective use of English language. They should cut crap like RE.bloggoth

I'd agree with this as long as it's not pointless languages like French and German that aren't used that widely. Mandarin and Spanish would be much more useful.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

I think they should teach coding from age 6, project management from age 9, get you in work from 12, IT director by 21, and retired from age 30.
Then spend the rest of your life (50 years?) in idle luxury living off your investments banging all the hot women and playing as much golf and video game(s) as you like..Comment
