Having the opportunity to take Chinese as a language at Abington Heights is a great addition to the language choices. We are thankful for the opportunity to learn the language and about the culture of China.
However, we are very disappointed that it will be discontinued for reasons we do not understand. As students of the Chinese level one class, we were looking forward to our second year of the Chinese curriculum.
China has become a very influential country in the business world. Chinese students are learning and studying in English beginning in third grade. Because of this, it is important for Americans to pursue learning the Chinese language and culture.
We are asking everyone to work together to find a solution and put the Chinese language back into the Abington Heights curriculum.
