ORIGINAL: KyttynTheMynx I dont see the issue in teaching a child 2 languages. The issue isn't the 2 languages. It's the forced spanish. What happened to choice? Why do the french, japanese, chinese, german, italians, etc, etc, etc, get left out? Why is spanish mandated as a second language if we can't even have english mandated as a first one? As for teaching english overseas...that's kinda moot. It's the second most widely spoken language in the world (behind Chinese). So it makes sense that it would be taught. Like someone stated, its what some schools are making be a part of the curriculum. Dont like it? Dont send your kids to school there. Where I live, its still a choice. I dont agree that children should be forced to learn a language, but with the way the job market is going, and the fact that people who are qualified for the jobs get turned away because they dont speak English and Spanish, its not a half bad idea to make them learn a few more languages along the way.
