Is learning a fouriegn language in highschool really that important? To me not really. I have been doing research and asking people thier opinions and most of the people said yes. but some people i asked tryed to change what i thought. They want us to learn it because its the second most spoken language in the U.S. today.

The feedback that i got from the peple who agreed with me was we might never use it. It just depends on you and where you go. There must also be translaters like someone else that might be able to help you with any help you must have or need. Basicly we might never use it unless we want to.

Other ideas i got was we need more time for other classes. Webasicly dont have that many classes and that leaves the school to choose our classes. If we had more classes like wood shop, home etc stuff like that, we would probably have a choice of the classes we want. We could benefit from other classes.

More classes could help us with job oppertunities. That we can use in the future. And the more things you can do the more job oppertunities. Plus the class you get must be interesting, but most of the time the class is boring. Their might be less issues if the class was fun but it's not.

About we dont get a choice. The school just places you in spanish. The school places you in a random spanish class, there might be alot of students in that class. Now what you have to try to learn with some people that might be to loud.

Most of us want to learn a different language but we only have one class to choose from, spanish. Some of us want to learn french so we can go to france or another french speaking country state. But the only foureign language class we got is spanish.

Last but not least it effects our grades. All the extra work we get from doing all the stuff they give us. On top of all that work we have to do already the homework, the projects, and the class work. We are so busy in all our classes and the school counts the foureign language as a major grade.

Concluding to this, to me its not important to learn a foureign language. To leave on a good note not everyone takes foureign language classes seriously but that should not stop others from learning.
