Keep Lawrence Township's German Classes In-Person
The Issue
It's been decided that the German program within Lawrence Township is going to be phased out of an in-person course and transiting into an online-only platform. How is this going along with being the "district of destination" when you're completely erasing the opportunity to take German effectively. Taking German at Lawrence North and Fall Creek Valley set me up for where I am today, a German student at IUPUI that got to live in Germany for 6 months. Taking a language online has always been more difficult and makes the speaking aspect near impossible, which is the most viable part of learning a language. Moving German to online will kill the program. Keep the courses offered in-person.
