If every school in the Highlands had excellent buildings / facilities and sufficient good teachers with small classes then there could be no objection to new Gaelic schools. As it is we have many totally inadequate buildings (look at Wick HS) and a shortage of teachers resulting in large classes so children are being short changed. In these circumstances a few teachers travelling round the county to give Gaelic classes to those who want them is quite enough.
We will have to live with the legacy of underfunding education for years. Why can't Govt./Councils get their priorities right?
