To make for a better world.

If I could change one thing about the American educational system, it would be to put emphasis on teaching foreign languages. German. French. Spanish. Italian. Chinese. Russian. Yes, every langauge in the world. I'd create a multi-lingual society. And I'd start in preschool. Even before kindergarten or first grade. And everybody would be required to take foreign languages. It would be just as important as science or math or social studies. Knowledge of foreign languages would make Americans more worldly. More understanding of other people and other cultures. Seems to me that language is one of the best inventions ever. Now we need to exploit it. To make for a better world. --Jim Broede
