  Since I went to school in Macon and a lot of my friends still live there it wasn't long before I found out about this. The Superintendent of Bibb County Schools has made it mandatory that all student become proficient in
  Mandarin by the time they finish high school. This has fueled a lot of debate because many students in the county are from a low socioeconomic background and many believe that focusing more on academics or even Spanish would be more appropriate.
