    Crystal does make the point that linguistics (or at least "knowledge
    about language" in some organized form) is still missing from most
    school curricula. It would be a good thing to have.

    Teaching second languages almost always involves knowledge about language in some organised form, and indeed in my jurisdiction it tends to be the only way schoolchildren get any formal insight into English grammar.
