On a completely different note, I think American students suck at foreign languages compared to other countries, and there should be an effort to fix this.

I think this is mostly due to the lack of motivation most students have to learn another language- English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and most things nowadays feature English in some way or another, so really it's no necessity. However, I agree, foreign language is an important part of the curriculum that should be improved.

I love foreign language classes, I've taken German and Spanish in the past and am currently in Chinese 1 as a freshman. Fun class.


yeah
