Chinese plan goes before school board Tuesday
Janesville school officials have come up with a plan to make Chinese instruction optional for children at two elementary schools.
The Janesville School Board will consider approving the plan Tuesday. The plan calls for instruction in reading and/or math for students whose parents who want to opt out of Chinese class.
Chinese instruction began in September at Harrison and Roosevelt schools. The parents of a Harrison student complained that all children were being required to learn the language, which led to a tense school board meeting Sept. 29.

Yes it does sound like a great offer for the kids...but why only 2 of the schools and why Chinese...why not Spanish or other languages....I remember in 3rd grade, took a month or so of French and it was fun. But we only did it for a month and never had it offered again until Junior High (yes Junior High when I went 7th, 8th, 9th).
