Contrast that with math.
There was a time when calculus was not even introduced until
college. Now, it's assumed as a pre-requisite for first-year
university math (or you take it as a remedial/make-up course
along with basic readin'n'writin' as more and more frosh seem
to need...).
Won't be long before you'll need tensors and Laplace transforms
to get into grade 9. But language and organized comms skills are
being pushed UP-slope instead. Howzat?
