Why don't Mexican high school students have to learn English?

Question

we have to take two foreighn languages to graduate at my school

I suppose we don't have to learn Spanish but it's the obvious choice. How often would I use French? (don't answer that)

Answer 1

Uhm... Mexican high school students DO have to learn English. If they do not know any English they are automatically placed in a program that helps them learn English at their own pace.
If they don't use it outside of the classroom is another thing.

Answer 2

I presume you are talking about Mexican students in the United States. You got some good answers about that. I just want to add that I am an American living in Mexico and quite familiar with many Mexican schools. English is a required subject for all students from at least 6th grade on. The problem is, the teachers are often not very fluent with spoken English. The emphasis is on written English and translation, so many students do not speak English well. I remember the same being true when I took Spanish in high school in the United States.

Answer 3

In many states the Spanish and Mexican students are required to have a level of English language that will allow them to communicate and understand what is going on in a normal level of high school classes in America. You'll find that they'll be required to take ESL (English as a Second Language) courses as their electives while taking regular classes to improve their English as they continue on in their classes. A few states are now passing propositions, I think Arizona was one of them, that officially declares English as the primary language and that no forms can be written with spanish on them requiring many of the Spanish and Mexican people to know how to read and write in English.

Hope that Helps.

Answer 4

It's a very hot topic. Officially, the US does not have an official language... so we can't legislate people to learn it.
Other countries have official languages..but the US being the "melting pot" of all nations doesn't

Someone can correct me if this status has changed recently.

Anyways.. I bet some groups oppose any law requiring it saying that it will create discrimination against foreigners...or something like that.

Answer 6

If you view the video associated, the arm function used within the Mexican flag salute is same with that of a Nazi salute. From 1892 to 1942, the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance used to be as a rule played within the equal approach, however it used to be transformed in order that folks could put out of your mind that the Pledge of Allegiance used to be the beginning of the Nazi salute. In reality, the Bellamy salute used to be the beginning of the Nazi salute and of the so-referred to as "old Roman salute" fantasy (a debunked fantasy). However, the media under no circumstances performs up the reality approximately the Pledge of Allegiance and its putrid beyond. The Mexican pledge maintains to be played with the USA's early salute which used to be the Nazi salute, the beginning of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers Party. It could be extra proper if the USA pledge have been played with its early Nazi salute, because it could support every body appreciate the intent and historical past. Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy (creator of the Pledge) touted navy socialism and countrywide socialism and their dogma used to be the beginning of the Nazi salute whilst Francis Bellamy started the Pledge of Allegiance with the navy salute that used to be then elevated outward to factor on the flag. They stimulated the National Socialist German Workers Party, its rituals (robot chanting to flags & leaders), dogma, and emblems (adding using the swastika to symbolize overlapping S-letters for "socialism" beneath German countrywide socialism. The above are one of the vital discoveries within the the paintings of the famous historian Dr. Rex Curry. American socialists, adding the Bellamys, stimulated Stalin, Mao and Hitler (the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Peoples Republic of China, and the National Socialist German Workers Party), the worst mass murderers of all time. Pledges of Allegiance will have to NOT be chanted in Spanish or English (exceptionally NOT the USA's pledge) - Pledges of Allegiance will have to ONLY be chanted in German, Russian or Chinese. Stop the USA's pledge of Allegiance.
