[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, that is the plan to have FLES in all schools. They just need the money. After seeing how little time the children have for recess and core subjects, you might end up preferring they keep foreign language after school instead.[/quote] Foreign language lessons in elementary school are a waste of time. Meeting 30-45 minutes/1x week does nothing for language instruction. One kid had Spanish at his elementary center. The other had no language at the base school. They both ended up with the same rudimentary level Spanish (almost none) by the end of elementary school.[/quote] My kid has had Spanish 3x a week this year and 2x a week last year. He's not fluent but he's learning.[/quote]
