Languages should be taught in school. The United States is at a severe dis-advantage in the world markets because of a lack of ability in foreign languages. It is one of the few countries that does not make learning a foreign language mandatory in high school. It is not even required in many college majors.

Why are Spanish and French taught in school?

In the United States of America, French and Spanish are taught in school for many reasons. A big reason is the influence of geography, history, politics, and society. To the north, the U.S. is bordered by French speaking Canada to the north-northeast, and English speaking Canada to the north-northwest. To the south, the U.S. is bordered by Spanish-speaking Mexico. Additionally, French and Spanish speakers were involved in the early settlement of the U.S. Furthermore, the U.S. counts among traditional allies the friendly Spanish-speaking country of Mexico, and the English and French speaking country of Canada. Finally, there are many descendants of French and Spanish speakers, and many French and Spanish speaking immigrants, in the U.S. to this day.
