Spanish Class

Spanish class. That is a discussion within itself. Do we really need to learn a language? According to my Spanish teacher, her class is the "make it or break it" factor of whether or not you'll get into college. Superb!

Learning a new language is beneficial in some ways, but to make everyone take a language is utterly ridiculous. Yes, many people enjoy learning a new language, but everyone is different (how cliche!). But people have different plans in their life. I could understand if one or two years of learning a language was required, but to go through all four years? Really...

I have regretted my decision to take Spanish for a while now. Spanish is a great language, but for me, I think I would enjoy Latin much more. But, guess what? According to my school counselors, changing your language will dock you down from college radars. So, now I'm forever stuck with Spanish with the mindset that if I change my language I will not get into college.

Here's my rundown of the problems with Spanish class (which I will definitely explain more in depth soon):

1. Teaching Style (directly correlates with the teacher, how ironic!)

• DREADED Australes (participation/money system - basically the one thing that characterizes the  curriculum of the class...gah) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_austral
• Citos

2. Pals
