<p>usna09mom, sadly USMMA only offers Spanish and as an elective in later years at that. Jamz has 4 yrs of German with no chance of polishing those skills for travel. I do hope the academies are in line for some of those funds. Its sorely needed. So I guess it may be Spanish I for him. I feel strongly that languages should be offered in our public schools at earlier ages. Think about the speech patterns and the wonders teaching could do for a 6 year old. Congrats on your daughter. Bet she’ll have a lifelong love with history. I got Jamz involved in history during a two year period of research on a book I’d written on WWII LSMs in the Pacific (Landing Ship Medium). It was a fabulous project and I’m still in contact with some of the guys who sailed in WWII. LSM’s were the Navy’s expendable little ships used in logistics. Funny Jamz is now in logistics and your daughter in history. Strong Influences maybe? :)</p>
<p>Self-expression? Where ever did you get that idea? I’m just hyperactive. :D</p>
