[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they more valuable than a second language?[/quote] Hop over to the FCPS forum and read how many think FLES is a waste of money and want it gone. My kids had a mandatory foreign language in elementary. They didn’t learn anything except a hate for that particular language. We are not alone with this. They don’t become fluent or even competent. [/quote] Agreed. Mine were so tired of it, neither of them had any interest in continuing in middle school. During elementary school, they'd ask why they have to learn songs in Spanish - why not some other language? The repetitiveness of the curriculum was boring and un-engaging; and they did not feel like they were learning anything new each year. There is no reason for learning a different language or learning music to NOT be FUN in elementary school![/quote]
