Petition To Learn Japanese - 11-16-2011, 12:26 AM

Hi everyone! ^^
Today, a couple of people and I were thinking about making an official petition to try and get Japanese as a more common language taught in schools. So indeed, we did .
It would be very helpful if you took five minutes out of your time to sign our petition. If you don't, please spread the word!
Thank you!

どんな瞬間だって運命だって 
ひとつだけ確かなものがあると知った 
限界だって困難だって あきらめたくないよ  
このまま離さないで 
かたく握りしめた 君の右手のぬくもり 
ここにあるから

I'll sign your petition but only if they teach Japanese without kanji. It's far too illogical for my feeble mind.


I'm sorry for all the bad stuff I said and all the feelings I hurt.. Please forgive me

Sounds pretty unserious to me. What do you hope to accomplish by having some strangers signing an online petition?

Honestly, this probably isn't the best way to get Japanese taught in more schools. The government doesn't decide what languages our schools provide for us. Its up to your school district.

I heard that in the northern U.S. Japanese is provided for more schools, as well as states that are along the Pacific rim. So even if your petition was to reach its goal it wouldn't have an effect... It would still be up to your school or school district.

The best thing to do would be to have a petition at YOUR own school. Have as many people sign it as possible. Then, after you have received a substantial amount of signatures, show it your principle or talk with your school district's Board of Education.

I'll sign if you fix all the spelling errors. I would have loved to study it in highschool.

Why should I care about kids who are having a better time than I did in the wrong country? I could have took Chinese for GCSE had I been a year younger.

I'm sorry,I normally do sign these things but I was disappointed by it.

I would love if this actually went through, but I dont think it will. Only because other languages are for more important to learn, like Spanish. One is most likely to need to know Spanish rather then Japanese. You should also consider an after school club for people who want to learn Japanese. The school can provide the club with some Japanese language books. It can also be about the Japanese culture and who knows, maybe you guys can all visit there someday


I don't have a facebook.
