English - To study or not?

At the beginning of the academic year, at school, we're provided with a highly unwanted sheet of projects that have to be done throughout the year. Our third term English Language project was however very interesting. Now don't get me wrong here. I am CERTAINLY not talking about the content of my project or the topic. But the stupidity in choosing the project topic.

The topic is:

"Should English be a compulsory subject of study? Write for or against."

A subject of great debate... that's not being denied. But god. REALLY. have some common SENSE. The answer is Yes or No. If yes, write five hundred words of irrelevant content. If no, write five hundred words of irrelevant content. But what I'm trying to bring out here is that, English is ALREADY a universal language. And why? Because this topic was discussed in the NINETEENTH CENTURY. It's now the TWENTY FIRST century and our minds are at a standstill continuing to harp on about this same issue being an infinite bug to teenagers around the globe who honestly couldn't care less to go beyond 'yeah' or 'nah'.
I mean, already 90% of popular newspapers are in English; and the same with television sitcoms, movies, notices, signs and blah.
Why on EARTH would they want to torture poor children to DECIDE what they should be tortured with?!
I mean, really, do you SEE ME writing in Portugese here? Do I NOT illustrate a strong point?
Me: Average educated student. SPEAKING ENGLISH. WHY? Because English is a compulsory subject of study. THE END. stop pestering kids. god.
If english was NOT compulsory, a fifty year old woman with graying hair and nothing to do in the day but knit, would NOT have a job teaching english as well as she would not even GIVE us the stupid essay.
THINK a little you mere moronic mortals!
Bah, the Global Board of Education is going DOWN I tell you.
