Most people think that taking a second language is going to be useful; I'm not disagreeing with this, because I find understanding spanish useful. The thing that I don't understand is, why do we have to learn spanish starting in 1st grade? We don't even learn anything, and there's no homework, meaning they just waste 45 minutes of the day; I'm not saying that I WANT homework (I'd have to be crazy first), but I wonder why we start in 1st grade. Out of the 6 years I've taken spanish, I only learned how to conjugate verbs and useful sentence structure stuff in 7th grade, and all the rest of the 6 years are wasted. I mean, learning out to say 'horse' and 'apple' is ok, but it's not exactly useful. I think that people should only start taking a second language in 7th grade, or not take it so early in life and not that long of a period of time when you DO take it in 1st grade.
