my Italian cousin was advised by her school counselor to take up several languages while in h.s. in which she is now employed in the Italian diplomat corp.

I took Spanish at Rayen high school, then tried it out on a 15 day field trip to
Spain in the tenth grade.

Young people in European countries quickly pick up several languages while here in the States most only are conversant in one or two at most.

pg a second language is a grt asset to ones being. you learn not only the lang but their culture and their history. i took latin i hsfor two yrs in which it helped me in my fr and it. this was another way i met new frds with new fun. i met two wonderful new frds while studying slovak with other frds.

I do agree that it can be a great asset. I also approve of learning a second language IF one chooses to do so.
But I maintain that it should not be a requirement.

When we were living on Bryson Street next to Ursuline, there was a private school for gifted children a couple of doors down from our apartment building. If I'm not mistaken part of its name was Kennedy.

I think this is a wonderful concept but I disagree that the children should be required to learn a foreign language.
