Moari Should Be Compulsory In Schools

Should Moari Be Compulsory in Schools? I think not, who cares if it’s an official language. We won’t need it in the future. It probably won’t be useful for my future career as a neurosurgeon. Here are three reasons why Moari should not be compulsory in schools.

Firstly Maori is an official language of New Zealand, but so is sign language. So it wouldn’t be fair to just teach one official language we should teach all of them. I honestly think that sign language is more important because we can use it for more important things. For example, to communicate with deaf people I mean moari won’t help you in situations like this.

Secondly other languages are just as important. Especially jobs that include talking to different kind of people and jobs that include a lot of traveling. I think all languages should be optional in school despite how important they are. For example you learn moari in school because it’s compulsory but then you have to go study in France. Well moari won’t help you their will it?

Lastly I would like to state the fact that because of the fact that technology is changing. We have things like google translate and even the translation of different people's minds. It won’t be hard to decipher another language in the future, especially with the rate that technology is changing at. For example, if we don’t understand a youtube video, we just click on subtitles and go to auto translate. Their we go we can understand it now!

So in conclusion, I think that moari should not be compulsory in schools but it should be optional. I would also like to state that I am not in anyway against, learning moari. I love the culture but I think that it wouldn’t be fair to make it compulsory.
