Persuading a school to teach a subject?

What is a good way to persuade a school to teach English Language? My school used to have it 2 years ago, but then not enough people enrolled in it so they didn't continue to teach it.

Find out who would be interested in doing English Language. Make a petition and get signatures from all the people interested and give it to the head of senior school/principle and the head of English in your school. Then get all the parents of the students that are interested to call the school or write a letter. Parents pretty much run schools... well they do at mine.

You can't do anything really except show that there's going to be enough students in the class

Only happens in private schools because parents are paying to keep the school alive, public schools don't really care :P

Like the others. Your best bet is to find and convince other students to do it. That way it will have lots of interest causing the school to think about running it.

Oh yeah, didn't take that into account. My bad!! Well in that case just try and show your school that a number of people are interested
