Foreign Languages Cut as Schools Cut Budgets

The New York Times - 9/11/09

As school budgets tighten, foreign languages are falling victim to cuts.

So reports this article in The New York Times that describes how after years of expanding language offerings, suburban school districts across the New York region are cutting back on staff and instruction.

The cutbacks reportedly come not only as schools are under pressure to downsize budgets but also to raise achievement in English and other subjects.
