It's now time for Scots to re-establish its natural links to Germany and strengthen further our European links. <br /><br />Let's begin with updating and balancing the history of Europe.Brian Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214199678986243195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-29099912363066712872009-08-15T18:45:23.310+01:002009-08-15T18:45:23.310+01:00I consider myself lucky having had a German teache...I consider myself lucky having had a German teacher who balanced the German history I was force fed.<br /><br />As a result my interest in Germany and its history is nearly as strong as my interest in Scottish history. Of course I was taught little or nothing about Scottish history but I was schooled in the 50s and 60s. 'All Germans are evil' was the curriculum.<br /><br />When I was a child it was French which was taught as the main language from the age of 7. Why I have no idea as, along with my old school friends, none of us has ever used it.<br /><br />Why the drop in pupils taking up German? Are they turning to Spanish? That would be a sensible move as Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world. Germans still have the reputation as the best engineers though and I note that private language companies are never short of students who wish to learn 'engineering speak'.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-52517842133670776772009-08-15T12:59:20.307+01:002009-08-15T12:59:20.307+01:00"Why were Scottish subjects excluded, almost ..."Why were Scottish subjects excluded, almost without exception, from my secondary education?"<br /><br />I think we all know the answer to that little riddle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
