is your little one required to take a language?
my daughter is in kindergarten and is required to take spanish class twice a week. even though she is doing well she says she hates it and it's hard.
i know teaching children at a young age a new language is better because they retain more but i think it's a bit much. i didn't have to take a language till high school and it was an elective.
i know we have alot of spanish speaking people in our country but we also have alot of people who speak other languages too. chinese, indian, etc.. in fact it seems every time you make a call these days you're speaking to someone of indian descent so why not learn indian(hindi,?).
i know this country is trying to keep up with other countries that know 4 or 5 languages but also why then are foreigners who move to our country not required to take english! "when in rome do as the romains!" i feel someday this country is gonna be taken over and we're gonna get stomped out by foreigners.
i respect their race and religon but come on, our holidays have been stomped out. our children can't celebrate their birthdays in some schools. i grew up with some mormans and never heard them protest more than foreigners do thses days about our way of living!
what are your thoughts on our little ones learning a new language?
