[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh. Unpopular opinion but most of these kids aren’t going to learn enough Mandarin to do anything with it anyway. In fact most kids don’t learn enough of a second language in the US (in school) for it to be useful. [/quote] None of them has a chance of it becoming "useful" if they don't learn it in the first place. But there is so much more education involved in learning a language than it being useful for a job or something. Grammar, vocabulary, memorization, geography, history, comparative arts, literature, and culture, etc etc. are all part of learning a language. And it's good for the brain. Everyone learning Spanish is what's "meh." It's a good language to learn, but it hardly makes us educated in aggregate.[/quote] You can smell the Maga on you a mile away. [/quote]
