Rejected petition Remove French From Schools Or make it Optional.

French is one of the most unimportant subject in school, I'm not gonna lie the only people who speak French Is French people and 80% know how to speak English. But know you have to do it for a GCSE is a waste of my time. Considering I know and probably many other kids we won't use it.

More details

Make languages a optional Lesson and GCSE in all High Schools. Make mandarin the new language, becuase Chinese is the way of the future and business.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about what languages to teach are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament, so it is up to individual schools whether to offer French of Mandarin lessons.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to make learning a modern language in school optional, if that's what you want to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
