Wait, who is that a question to? Legolas Send a noteboard - 28/09/2015 06:38:20 PM

View original postMy high school offered Spanish, French, German, and Japanese, with Spanish being the most popular choice and Japanese the least. A nearby cousin, in a school with about 500 students per grade vs. the 400 for mine, had the option of going for Russian in addition to the ones I had. That was in the late '80s.

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I had in mind, schools with 3-4 choices at least... but Tom may be right that you have to be pretty lucky to get that many. Like I said, I'd like to see the full statistics on that, as it's hard for an outsider like me to see how representative any single person's experiences were.

It doesn't necessarily follow that education is getting worse, though. Legolas - 22/09/2015 06:22:31 PM 587 Views
But it has. College is now teaching what high school should have. Tom - 22/09/2015 09:00:20 PM 662 Views
I'll take your word for that, but... Legolas - 22/09/2015 11:02:28 PM 524 Views

To some extent - not entirely - it's just that the ideas of general knowledge were different. Legolas - 23/09/2015 06:25:36 PM 544 Views
You keep making this error in your logic. Tom - 23/09/2015 07:44:00 PM 454 Views
I do agree with you in large parts - but I don't see the full picture as bleakly. Maybe wrongly. Legolas - 23/09/2015 10:16:54 PM 500 Views

It's more symptomatic, IMO Cannoli - 26/09/2015 05:49:12 PM 476 Views
We agree on most things, then. Good. Legolas - 26/09/2015 11:09:40 PM 422 Views

Surely if you invest in your child's education, you should aim to get the most bang for your buck. Legolas - 22/09/2015 06:11:51 PM 424 Views
