Random Thoughts and Then Some

"I looked into Europe's educational system, which you might say is not as good as in the U.S., but you would only say that if you really are ignorant.  Children abroad must learn a second language from kindergarten on up.  That language could be French, German, Spanish, or all three, but they must learn at least one.  Our children do not even begin to think about a second language until high school, which is late.  Learning a language in the formative years has many advantages over learning later such as retention and that second language becoming as second nature as ones own native language.  But most American's do not want to hear or believe that.  We are losing our youth and their second language is the crap/rap they cling to while fun is their black board."
