[quote=Anonymous]This nation is doing its children a great disservice by not starting foreign language until middle school. Our FCPS had foreign language in elementary school, but learning Spanish one day a week is basically like not learning any Spanish at all. Also, I'm going to encourage my kids NOT to take Spanish in middle and high school because it is REALLY HARD. The native speakers take it as (1) an easy A and (2) to actually learn how to write and speak properly in their native language so non-native speakers are at a huge disadvantage. And don't yell at me about #2, I'm a native speaker of a foreign language and could not write my parents a letter or note, my spelling and written grammar are horrible.[/quote]
