Which subject do you believe should have a higher priority than defending the cultural identity of a nation?
- whoooooo123 4y agoMaths, science.
- Widdershin 4y agoHow is it prioritised over these subjects? Surely a student can take math, science and Welsh and still have time for a few more subjects.
- voakbasda 4y agoOpportunity cost. By having to study it at all, those students lose the opportunity to study something else that might have more value or merit to them personally. In that way, it definitely is a forced priority.
- simplotek 4y ago> Maths, science. But those are already taught as the central subjects, aren't they? They are far from being ignored or neglected. Again, which subjects should be prioritized offer cultural identity?
- Veen 4y agoThe Welsh language isn't part of the cultural identity of most English-speakers in Wales. That's why they find it annoying when their children are forced to learn it. It's like forcing every child in Brittany to learn Breton when most of the population speaks French and has no desire to speak Breton.
- simplotek 4y ago> The Welsh language isn't part of the cultural identity of most English-speakers in Wales. Do you understand what "protecting the culturage identity" means? From your comment, it looks like you didn't manage to connect the dots.
- Veen 4y agoAre you being deliberately obtuse? If you're capable, try expressing an opinion in clear and comprehensible language. The vague waffle and irrelevant rhetorical questions make you look dim-witted.
