<p>I just ascended in SporkHack for the first time. I feel this is a much more interesting topic of conversation. :p</p>
<p>Laplace was a dork anyway.</p>

<p>Oooh, dis! I didn't know CC had a rule like that. Does CC have to be so Anglocentric?</p>

<p>...I hope that doesn't come off as offensive.</p>
<p>Heh. It's funny that they censored you. I made an entire post in French a few months ago, when I was telling LesOs about some random French tongue-twisters. And I didn't get censored.</p>
<p>^I always thought that would be cool to have them force 2 languages down your throat in elementary school. You probably know French almost as well as you know English. My school doesn't even have Spanish until 9th grade, so I'm jealous.</p>
<p>^ I'm in Canada, by the way. It depends on the programs you do in elementary school. In Ontario, there's something called French Immersion where students are fully instructed in French until grade 4, when they have an English class once a day. If you don't do French Immersion, you're instructed fully in English until grade 4, when you have a French class once a day. French Immersion doesn't exist in high schools, but there's a program called Extended French, where a few random classes you take are in French. In order to graduate from a public high school in Ontario, a student must have at least one French credit.</p>
<p>Now, these programs are almost worthless because, although they're supposed to be French, they're mostly taught in English. In fact, the teacher spends most of the time explaining things in English. </p>
<p>Ontario also has French elementary and high schools. In these schools, everything (even report cards) is in French. Obviously, there are English classes, but, if you want a French education, it's best to go to a French school. Living in a completely English environment (outside of the school) will make up for a lacking English education.</p>
<p>But yeah, all of this is only for Ontario. I don't know if the other provinces attempt to be as bilingual. Quebec (French-speaking province) has little or no English programs in schools. It's kind of ridiculous, to tell you the truth. Quebec's always threatening to separate from Canada because the French culture is dying down, so I guess they try to keep the province as French as possible.</p>
<p>Sorry for the long post. I get carried away sometimes.</p>
<p>It would be cool to have Chinese immersion. I've heard of a school in San Francisco that's started it for kindergarteners. It's so much easier to learn a language that way rather than trying to memorize vocab.</p>
<p>Yup. I tried reading a German textbook. Blech.</p>
<p>CHEE! I've been censored again! But I'm so lovable.</p>
