Need some help brainstorming support ideas for essay.?

The topic is: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school.

I agree and have come up with some topics to support it, but I would like to hear others views to see if there is an interesting idea or point I hadn’t thought of. I just want a list not an essay. or perhaps links to studies on this for research. Thanks!

The ability to develop correct pronunciation techniques is easier when you are younger. Also, since English is a compilation of other languages, many word origins can be uncovered by studying other (foreign) languages. Especially (in my opinion) German and Latin. English is a Germanic language and English words have a lot of Latin roots.

I also found this from the website listed below

“The Window of Opportunity to Learn Easily

Research shows that a child’s brain is especially receptive to learning a second language from birth to about age 10 or 12.

Changes in the Brain

A child’s brain will actually build new synapses in response to experiences. “The child who learns piano (for example) will learn those connections and 20 years later will learn to play the piano again easier than someone who has not studied it. Harry Chugani neuroscientist at Wayne State University

Children’s Brains treat a Second Language the Same as their Native Language

Children who learn a second language early store both their native and second language in the same locations in the brain. Older children may have a harder time because their brain has to do extra work to create additional space for the second language. Joy Hirsch, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience at Cornell University Medical College.

Young children are able to reproduce a native accent flawlessly

As a rule, the younger the children are, the better their accent will be, especially if they’ve had some foreign language training before learning to read English.

the main important rationalization why newly graduated extreme schoolers pass to a community college on the brink of abode vs leaving for a brilliant shot college could be relatives, and expenditures. massive shot Universitys value alot extra then community college. So i could say brainstorm approximately value vs relatives ties.
