English Value

Reading the Guardian website today, I came across this article in the Education Section.

Made me feel sad to think that English is a dying subject...

"Is English as an academic pursuit dead, dying, moribund, or on the verge of a great new chapter in its long history" (John Sutherland).

I would like to think that it is on the verge of a new chapter - especially if English theory is embraced at all levels (maybe my A'Levels would have been more fun if theory had also been involved).
