The school system here in America is horrible. K-5th, you pretty much barely learn anything at all. 6th-8th, Middle School was even worse, all it really was it was pretty much Elementary with Hormones raging, and mine didn't even offer any foreign languages. High school, pretty much Day-Care for teenagers... At least we are finally offered a bit of variety, still not much unless you happen to be like prodigy level and manage to go to a high level school, unless you are like me and your region has zoning laws making you go to specific schools, which forces me to go to a crappy school against my will. Right now I am attempting to learn French, but having no family members who speak a different language other then English and the extremely slow rate of learning during K-8th doesn't help. It's a bit difficult, but like they say the first language is always the hardest. Hopefully one day I will be able to expand my grasp of languages to: English, French, Italian, German, and Russian/Japanese.
