My Homework Rant

[gizmo]

Much as though I hate to admit it I kind of agree with Lewis. I never enjoyed French at school, never learned anything that was of any use at all (other than how to count to 14 and ask where the train station is). Surely the time spent trying to learn a language that you will never be any good at and will probably never use could be better spent learning spelling and the other basics that seem to have gone.

I kind of agree with SCD that the kids should be learning from an early age when their brains are like little sponges! I feel very embarrassed when we go to other countries and they almost ALL speak English!! The wee one and I are learning Spanish on our DS's at the moment! It's good fun and it doesn't feel so much like studying doing it this way (with exception to the verbs of course )
