well, if you're talking about education, the public school system (at least where I live) isn't too grand.

Quick English history:
First there was Old English, it does't look or sound remotely close to English today. Then the Angles, Saxons and the Jutes (vikings) invaded what we call England (Angleland) today. So the main language became Anglo-Saxon, from which today's English got common verbs, nouns, etc. Around this time English also started borrowing words from more vikings (can't remember their name right now) who invaded part of northern England (be warned I'm using "nothern England" loosely), English got some common words from that too. Then Cristianity came in and English started borrowing words from Latin (mostly words associated with higher learning and religion). Then the Normans (Norman-French speaking) conquored(sp?) England. English as we know it evolved from a mixture of Norman-French and Saxon. This is about where it becomes termed "Middle English" and it looks similar to today's Enlgish with more syllables. I forget what happened next. Anyway, it was Modern English by Shakespeare's time. And darn it, I'm running late! I'll expand on this later.

Kind of. Shakespeare was Early Modern English though.
English is just a mixture of loads of different languages (because we were always invaded) which makes it unpredictable and difficult to learn.
