[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the two most populated countries in the world. Why not Mandarin and Hindi along with Spanish (not sure about French) being offered for each secondary school student starting in 7th or 8th grade? Or ASL? [/quote] I’m all for increasing the languages and opportunities offered if it can be done. But to your point French is a very widely spoken world language, and it’s considerably easier for English speakers to learn up to a functional level than Mandarin or Hindi. In any case I wish MCPS were able to offer languages much earlier than they do (outside of immersion).[/quote]
