you don't think language classes are important? that they're stupid? you who capitalize almost every word...you're talking about EDUCATION?

a child who learns languages early on literally EXPANDS their brain, their potential for success. it's actually sad that most americans only speak one.

And anyways, you can learn just about any language on a cd rom and there is no real need for a classroom...

Random thoughts and random statements again:angry: :angry:

It is important for EVERYBODY to speak at least 2 languages.
That is, unless you walk around with American blinders.

i never had to take PE...i was able to skip out because i was in martial arts.

but i'd much rather have a child that's highly intelligent than muscle-bound. my children get all the exercise they need with me.

you don't perform neurosurgery with just huge arms...

Pure B.S. Once again. Second Languages are crap special history months are crap. English and Fundamentals and Physical Education everything else is flushed down the commode. I d rather them fund Chess club,Band,Music,SHOP CLASS (thats underfunded if any are),AMERICAN HISTORY, before they fund any of the so called 2nd language or Special history month B.S.

Where do you find time to eat so much, working three jobs?
- Don't you think it odd that so many of us HAVE to work three jobs? - Having the opinion that English is "the only REAL language" is precisely why the world now hates us.
As we happen to LIVE in the world, encouraging the rest of it to hate us may not be wisest plan.

um...you didn't list "biology" as one of your "fundamentals". nor even "science".

and no, you don't learn neurosurgery from biology. biology is all about how all living organisms work...NOT how to fix them.

it's odd but a lot of the history that i learned in junior high and some of high school turned out to be false information.

Random, America is part of the whole world, and is not the THE WORLD itself.
And since there are more languages than English, why not learn them?
The day will come quite soon when America plays no roll at all in the world, it just has to keep up its policy of being superior to every country else.

science was only madatory for the first two years of high school in my district so a lot of students never learned biology.
