I refuse to learn spanish and I refuse to allow my sons to learn it either. Sie koennen zum Hoelle gehen.
Meinst du das, oder sagst du das nur?
BTW, students should learn other languages for the same reason they learn math. Trains the mind, and besides, teaches one more about one's mother tongue. English for example is a kind of Germanic/Nordic sort of French-Latin hybrid.
Example: Fifty years ago, one rarely hear even the dumbest HS Grad confusing "drank" and "drunk" or "ran," and "run." Now many get the past participles wrong, and jes between you and I, objects and subjects.
Oh yeah, Math? Fuggedaboutit.
