Why Does the School Wait So Long to Teach Kids Another..?

June 11, 2009

Language?
in these days in time i think it is very important for everyone to learn another language, no matter what language it is. in my school we didn't get an option to learn another language until 6th grade and by 6th grade you are 12 years old. what's the point of the school having a language department if they are going to teach it to you so late. they should start when your in elementary school K-5
right now i'm currently starting an ASL class (american sign language) i'm still young but i would have loved to start it earlier. oh and also when you learn that late you barely learn that much because you don't get to practice it well, you have to do your other class homework's because they are more important. but when your younger it would be easier. studies have shown that learning another language while your young is easier to pick up then when your older
& i just think they should teach it to you earlier then 6th grade
do you agree or disagree?

I agree. It’s scientifically proven that children learn faster and remember more while they are young. I think that they should start teaching different languages while the children are younger, that way, they can learn more and remember more. I know for a fact that I don’t remember a whole lot of that Spanish from junior high and high school!
