It should be mandatory to graduate that you speak at least one foreign language. It opens up a lot of doors and removes culture barriers. Plus it is a great leg up for when you have to fill the language requirement at most colleges.

I think that it is very important because students need to be exposed to different cultures. If more graduates from Louisiana or any state for that matter had taken a foreign language for many years, it would improve the image of that state and our country as a whole. Also, it has been proven that students who take a foreign language class score better on their Sat's than students who do not.

Yes. There are no downsides to learning a foreign language, and many upsides. Knowledge of a foreign language can give students an advantage in the working world as well as teach them a new way of thinking.

And, at the very least, they'd have an advantage if they traveled to a foreign country.

I think yes. Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world. China is emerging from a period of stagnation and again taking it's place as one of the great powers of the world. Learning Chinese can increase one's job opportunity as well as broaden one's vision.

There are advantages to learning another language, although they might not be obvious to the student at the time.

Should it be conpulsory in all secondary schools? Maybe not in every case. In some countries there are parallel track of academic and vocational secondary school. A person going to vocational will almost certainly not go to college (unless he later repeats secondary on the academic track). There is something to be said for the option that will most quickly lead to a jobl.

Students should learn a new language because it opens up their world. It helps them with understanding other people. It also helps with the understanding of the history of a place.
