No one is required to have any language classes. So, why should a school bother to hire a language teacher and not require students to study a language? Many countries require students to study English. Maybe we should begin to require two years credit in a language again. But, thw whiny baby students would have their helicopter parents complain and get them off the hook. I wanted to study Latin, Spanish, Greek, and Japanese when I was in school. But, few did. The combination of Russian and Muslim terrorists really frightens me. Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
