Depends on how it is asked.
WHY do students have to learn Spanish?
Why do students HAVE to learn Spanish?
Answer — They shouldn’t NEED to and they shouldn’t HAVE to. Period!
“Why do students HAVE to learn Spanish?”
They don’t have to, but there’s now a financial incentive to learn it. Our wonderful corporate citizens who’ve lured millions of illegals into the US as cheap labor require Spanish language ability for some jobs, in some parts of the US.
They accept that some Americans should learn Spanish since so many illegals can’t or won’t. (They are often dealing with a population with little education in any language). Cut out the illegal immigration, and there’ll be fewer job related reasons for anyone to learn Spanish.
its one thing for business and individuals to communicate to gain emerging markets and new business in other countries...
this is not that...
we need a kristillnacht on foreign language (all) intrusions into American commerce and schools—you come to America, learn our language, don’t expect us to learn yours.. This is America, now speak English or leave...
I agree...unless they intend to own/manage a car wash..Spanish is useless otherwise....I've never heard anyone speaking Spanish and wondered for one second what they were saying....you can be sure they aren't discussing sub-atomic physics...
your right
Kids shouldn’t be forced to take a foreign language in school.
If someone WANTS to learn a second language on their own, thats wonderful. But to cram it down their throats when most of the kids i know really don’t know their first language all that well.
