[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I graduated from a high school in FCPS 15 years ago, nearly all of the native Spanish speakers took Spanish. No one else bothered with it because the class catered to them. I wouldn't assume much has changed. It's still an easy A. I believe FCPS should institute a rule at the high school level that the language studied cannot be the student's native language. [/quote] By your reasoning, English speakers shouldn't be allowed to take English. Is that really what you want? Foreign language instruction in high school also involves reading, writing and grammar. Just because a student speaks a language doesn't mean they can read and write it. Giving Spanish speakers the opportunity to learn these skills actually makes them more employable.[/quote]
