Mandatory Spanish would be benefit

There are many benefits to having a mandatory Spanish class in elementary school. Making this improvement would help children both socially and for their future employment. Introducing Spanish classes in elementary school is much more effective than in middle school or high school because the brain is still open to learn and it absorbs information better at a younger age.

There should be mandatory Spanish classes in elementary school because of how the brain works and how it could benefit our children with more advantages in life. Offering this class to our children would help them with many job opportunities.

Whether people like it or not, Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States and is growing all the time. It would also help them in society by breaking down the barriers to help communicate with Spanish speaking people. Mandatory Spanish classes in elementary school would greatly benefit our children with more advantages in life.
