[quote=Anonymous]It's too late for foreign language in middle school and high school, 'Merica needs to start in elementary school. I would agree that Fles, Flex or which program is being taught currently isn't the greatest, but it's better than nothing. Getting foreign language at least the same level as art is a huge step. Would we say our kids don't get enough out of art once a week? My kid got way more out of art lessons at the prison than we do in art at school, but I wouldn't do away with art at school. Ditto for PE - who actually learns something in PE? Most sports are learned in club/lesson, ect. Many people learn a foreign language in weekend Korean/Czech school. (I'm just glad I don't have the family background that make me have to do that on the weekends! I'm an 'merican that speaks one language, but I did take french in high school and college and can't speak a lick. but I'm trying hard to make sure my kids aren't that way)[/quote]
