[quote=Anonymous]The new language curriculum sounds more than a little gimmicky. If you want a middle school student to write well and test well, teach them English, along with some Latin and Greek roots. If you want to open their world, nurture an adventurous spirt and promote a cognitive boost, teach them to speak, read and write a 2nd language much earlier than 8th grade. PS. I've never really understood what a "world language" might be, other than English thanks to British colonialism.[/quote]
