But what is the opportunity cost?

The New Zealand Herald tells us that:
New Zealand's largest education union says te reo Maori should be compulsory in all schools to ensure it's kept alive.
But if it is to be compulsory what is to be dropped to make way for it? Should students not be taught maths, English, history or .....? There is no such thing as a free compulsory subject.

That's an easy one, Paul. New Zealand schools apparently haven't taught English for decades...
