Alternatively maybe spend 20 minutes of school time every week allowing the kids to talk about how they feel about the country, and what you're proud of or not proud of when it comes to the nation - as a primary school teacher, It could be fun, and constructive...possibly also more meaningful than reciting the same thing over and over until it loses it's impact.

Yes but the point is that many of the recent immigrants ARE NOT proud about the UK, they see themselves as part of group X and not British or English, Scottish, etc.
Its very much the same thing here with the illegal (and in many cases the legal) immigrants. They are not coming to the US because they want to be Americans; they are coming because the know the government will give them whatever they demand and pander to them at the expense of the taxpayer (who is labeled a racist Nazi if they dare complain).
