Sceptic

Oh dear me! One cannot escape the conclusion that UK children are reluctant to study anything even remotely difficult or that might demand precision - answers that are plainly right or wrong - rather than waffle.
(BTW - Good for those opting for Spanish - they will find out it is harder than they imagine - but stick with it. Worth speaking the 4-5th most used language in the world.
Sadly it is those now avoiding studying "difficult" things who will be lamenting living in a country with a declining economy and standard of living in 15-20 years time, maybe sooner. Annoyingly I will probably have to put up with those circumstances too, as will many older and better skilled people.
