Time to learn Arabic?

Arabic is an official language in Israel but sadly few children in Jewish schools are taught to speak it. My feeling is if Arabic was taught to Jewish kids and meanwhile Hebrew was taught in the Arab schools we would be a step closer to the next generation having points of contact between Arab and Jewish communities. It would also help to relieve the isolation of Arab Israelis in the society of Israel.
