@kausmickey I’m sorry
@kausmickey it has more to do with not reporting EPA polluting rivers and Hillary emails.
Does the school spend any time teaching the kids to read and wright English?
Oops I mean write… Maybe I should stick to Chinese.
Foreign language education for American kids is a huge waste. Probably harmful to educating kids as they see the futility. A bright kid will wind up having taken 4 or 5 years of Spanish, maybe a lot more if the school starts it in elementary school, and remember almost nothing a year after college is over.
Its not going to help them get a job because there are so many native speakers. Same with Chinese or any language. Putting years of work into learning a foreign language just to take vacations is silly.
How do the schools get away with it? Its more about teachers jobs than anything to benefit the kids and the most brain dead thing going on in education but its not going to be challenged by anyone.
