Spanish Education.

I'm a bit annoyed with the Spanish educational system.
If you go outside Spain, then you realize that most European countries are above grade level.
Fortunately, we can meet people from other countries and learn from first hand about their educational programs.
Every time a German or Belgian person tell me of their studies in their countries, it saddens me not to have been graceful with have been able to study in a place like those.

Last summer I went to Montpellier, a small city in South of France, and I spent a month there, so I could know many things about their culture,cuisine,education,etc
and there was one thing I was struck, and was that children could study absolutely any language they wanted in school.
In the family with whom I lived,it was a girl of 16 years old studying Japanese.
I felt so helpless..

In Spain the most that you can study in the institute under compulsion is English, I do not want to imply that other languages should be required obligatorily, but at least I consider it's necessary to provide an opportunity for those who want to have a good basis for languages, and also enhance the learning of English, because when we left school, I think that if we can conjugate the verb "to be" is to thank.
