#12012-01-14 17:19What in the world is going on with our educators? Removing German as a language course will only be detrimental in the short and long term at Maize. |

#22012-01-14 23:23I'm not even in German, but I still think that Maize should keep it. It's an important language to many people! In fact, one of my friends is taking it so that she can speak fluently with her extended family, who happen to live in Germany. How else are kids going to learn this language? I, for one, think that we need to start having MORE languages at Maize, like Arabic or Italian, for example, instead of narrowing down our choices. Learning new languages is fun and it opens up your future job opportunities! So many people are learning Spanish and French nowadays that it's not even uncommon to know them or have had some prior training. Now German, on the other hand, is still a language that not many people in America know. It's more impressive on job resumes! I hate how Maize is canceling so many of our favorite classes. I was in Sewing and am VERY upset about both of these classes no longer existing. They're very important to our future jobs and careers!! |

#42012-01-15 10:01No language should ever be cut as long as one person still wants to learn it, especially not such an amazing language as German. |

#52012-01-15 18:18It provides another option for students. If German is cut, that will leave them with Spanish and French, both romantic languages. Students should have the option to branch out and study a Germanic language. |

#62012-01-15 20:13Learning another language is so important for our students. It improves their learning ability and also helps them learn about another culture. German is a challenge that should be met by students everywhere and should be one of the schools' choices. |

#72012-01-16 02:11Even though I've never taken a German class, the German program has extreme dedication from its students. Please keep their passion alive. |

#82012-01-16 02:52My friend was planning on taking German his Junior year, with the recent news that makes it impossible for him to take it now. Let's keep German in the school district! |

#102012-01-16 04:00My family has been to Germany. It is an amazing country with rich culture that naturally draws you in. I think it is wrong to deny students an opportunity to experience diverse cultures here at Maize. My younger sibling and many of his friends were passionate about learning German, as our family is sure to go back and a solid background of the language would be extremely beneficial. Now he must choose between either Spanish or French, neither of which he wants to take. |

#112012-01-16 19:46I think German should stay in the curriculum. It helps expand international understanding. First we got rid of Japanese and now they're trying to cut out German? There's nothing right about this at all. We're taught to be more open and understanding of different cultures but we can't do that unless we have a WAY to better understand. |

#132012-01-21 19:39It would have been nice to know that the administrators were thinking about cutting German when our son registered for classes. We may have made a different language choice if he wasn't going to be able to complete 4 semesters of German. He loves this class and would love to study abroad. Is German offered at Maize South? If not, then why not pool kids from both schools. |

#14 Official language?2012-01-23 00:25If you have the power to edit the petition, please read this. You say that English is the official language of the US. We don't have an official language because that would restrict our freedom of speech. If you change that, I will sign the petition. |
