My brother went to school in Scotland.

If I sent kids to any school, I would insist that the main language they are taught is the one that will enable them to:-

1) Understand all the other subjects they will learn.

2) Be understood by all the teachers.

3) To have a good and prosporous life.

Any foreign or ancient languages would be of secondary importance to subjects which would empower them in their future lives.

In other words I would want what is best for the kids not what is best for the language of my ancesters. If they were taught Lallans (which I believe means lowland Scots) at school all well and good, if not, and if I wanted them to learn it. I would teach them at home.
