My DH comes home from the incoming 9th grade meeting at the high school and asks Zach if he wants to keep taking Spanish...he knows how important I think it is, doesn't talk to me about it first, knows what a big mistake I think it is that Alyssa stopped taking it, knows how good it is that Ben has continued with it, but blurts that out to Zach, anyway. He told me that there's Russian, Latin, etc, etc offered. I said that's fine as long as he also continued in Spanish. Zach did say that he wants to continue, but I know that he doesn't want to continue for long from what he's told me before, so I already have an uphill battle. Ben did go through a period when he wanted to quit and I know that he will encourage Zach to continue, so at least I have that. And the thing is, we all just had a long conversation very recently about how important Spanish can be in almost any job and of all languages it's really the one that makes sense to continue with and my DH totally agreed. Is his memory really that sucky? So frustrating!
