New science and math teachers in Georgia will receive extra pay through a new incentive plan. The incentives “are supposed to help entice and retain public school math and science teachers. They target newer math and science teachers in grades 6 to 12 by offering a first-year teacher the equivalent of a six-year teacher’s salary and narrowing the pay gap for teachers in between.” Source: Atlanta Journal Constitution

    Math and Science are great. However, the brain uses the same area to learn another World Language as it does to learn math and science. Learning another language makes our students better thinkers. They learn to analyze, decode and to think critically. They also learn to make decisions faster and have better reading comprehension. It is about time that we enrich our students lives and build better brains with this knowledge. Introduce world languages early in childhood and we will have better math and science scores.

    I guess that Georgia does not have shortage in World Language Teachers.
