The Effects Of Charter Schools On Early Foreign Language Education In Public Schools, Cassie Kunz
Senior Honors Theses
Education is a notoriously contentious subject in America. Controversy exists and continues to flare up over what content should be taught, how it should be taught, as well as the cost; foreign language is one such subject.
