Support for the Expansion of the Foreign Language Program in Brookfield, Connecticut


I am signing this petition to express my strong support for the expansion of the foreign language program for the Brookfield Public Schools into the 5th grade. The signing of this petition is to let the Brookfield Public School Board, the Superintendent, and the community know that there are many community members who value and support the opportunity for our children to learn a second language from the earliest level possible.
Studies have shown that the human brain is more open to linguistic development during the years between birth and pre-adolescence. When children have an early start to a long sequence of language instruction, they can achieve fluency that has not been possible in the past due to the late start of most language programs.
