Schools should not force children to learn a foreign language. Agree or disagree

In the present age, there has been much discussion revolving around the issue of whether children should learn a foreign

language

in schools. Though there are arguments, I radically believe that it should not be forced by schools rather it should be provided as an

option

.

To begin

with, there are a plethora of reasons to not agree with the statement made.

Firstly

, it can affect their studies.

In other words

, these days children have a huge amount of syllabus to cover during their academic period and

this

is time-consuming.

In addition

to it if a foreign

language

is made compulsory

then

students may feel tired and neglect the rest of the syllabus.

Furthermore

, it can

also

affect health.

For instance

, a student may feel burdened due to

this

language

which leads to mental stress and consequences following it.

On the other hand

, if it is provided as an

option

, it can have a myriad of merits.

Firstly

, pupils who have plans to move to a foreign country may choose to study it as it is a requirement.

This

ensures things go smoothly while travelling and even after settling there.

Additionally

, if children are asked to choose on their own, they learn it more enthusiastically.

For example

, a survey conducted by the Indian government showed folks given the freedom to choose performed better in every aspect than people with no

option

. In conclusion, a package comes both pros and cons. But making a foreign

language

an

option

to study has more merits when compared to other options.
