[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't understand the anti-language folks.  I can't remember a lick of algebra or chemistry and thought they both were a waste of time.  What's the difference?  [/quote]

I don't think most of us are anti-language. I'm multi-lingual and can speak/read/write 4 and speak 5 languages. I'd much rather they teach kids how to speak..just speak. Don't waste time on the fancy stuff. The vast majority of kids are not going to ever read/write so why bother?

Chemistry and Algebra are gateway courses to higher level education, unless you want to become a mover or do my lawn for a living (not that there's anything wrong with it). I'd say more important than a language.[/quote]

By your logic high schools shouldn't teach English either.

Just because you can speak a language at home doesn't mean you have any education in it.  [/quote]

Fine.. Don't learn English, Chemistry or Math but learn Spanish. I have a job waiting for you..[/quote]
