Without addressing the quality of Rosetta Stone, I completely feel for those poor students who will now be spending 5 hours per week doing very static and repetitive activities on the computer without the interactivity and serendipity of a profession teacher... I can't imagine how bored and under motivated these students will be.
This is another perfect example about the sad situation that we are in. How can we possibly compete when our students are going to learn how to say "the boy is on the plane" in Spanish....
It makes me sad... Shame on these school districts, and shame on us for getting to this place.
