Well here is a very sore topic for any parent with kids in school here.
The amount of time and money and effort wasted in making Catalan the first language in schools is mind numbing.

I reckon it is a secret Social Engineering plot to keep people here. If you have had your schooling in Catalan and have learnt maths and science etc. in Catalan, where else are you going to go to work or study??

Apart from the fact that the education dept. here is purposely trying to discourage people from further education and steer them towards a trade. They reckon there are too many qualified people here already!!
