There's a fine line between being idealistic and being completely bonkers!
Recently, for instance, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority advised the government to revamp the school curriculum by introducing Mandarin, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese and/or Arabic.
Now this might concern some people who might question the usefulness of such a measure - what do we gain by introducing other 'ethnic' languages to our children? Isn't this just pandering to the needs of our minority communities? Aren't we simply giving priority to 'minor' languages at the expense of English? Isn't this another example of political correctness gone mad?
Well, I'm not so sure.
