I'm going to say not enough emphasis is placed on the 3 R's and more so, when did it become required to take spanish in grade school?
My Grand daughter is learning spanish in the first Grade, why? (Edit: I got it wrong my Daughter just told me she's in ESL, which is for English as a Second Language.) it's for Hispanic who need more time learning and reading English.
In a way I would have to say, the lack of importance given in Schools promoting other classes and sports seems like a waste of time, all of that should be outside of school and more time spent in the Sciences, Math and English.
There are country's who teach English.
I understand that, slowly Japanese and Chines now, Korean. Don't forget French and German, because of our global market.
I just don't get Spanish, do we do that much trade with South America?
