Never found them that useful inside of maths either

I'm just saying that rather than say 'isn't it terrible they're dropping this traditional subject' we should be thinking about why children study particular subjects in the first place, and if we can make room for useful subjects like nutrition by edging out the, err, less widely required ones, that's got to be a good thing surely ??
