19. Well...
forced means mandatory and not an elective, which ie traditionally meant. It is mandatory in most schools. In my school system, children have to take two years of a foreign language to graduate high school and MOST colleges require at least one year.

The problem I run into is that our lower level students are having their hands full with the regular curriculum and do horribly in their language classes.

Not to mention that most academic classes are broken down into ability levels ie: advanced placement, honors, college prep, general education and special education. There is NO breakdown of ability in the language classes and often are way too much for our lower level students to handle.
