If everyone had the same opinion, no one would ever learn any one else's language. This is how languages die. Like Gaelic in Ireland. <br />And what kind of English? Queen's English, Australia English, Kiwi English, Jamaican English, American English, American English with a Boston or New York or Jersey dialect?<br /><br />It's ridiculous we can't even learn one simple other language, when others around the world may learn as many as five.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-26730704725660730192009-09-13T01:05:50.911-04:002009-09-13T01:05:50.911-04:00I completely agree with this.

I was never in Bi-lingual classes, and was just thrown with the sharks. I learned English when I was five, and speak and write fluently in English and Spanish. My cousins, who are ten to twenty years younger than me (there are 36 of us total), had the option to go to bilingual classes. Some had the option to go to just Spanish taught school in Los Angeles. They are at such a disadvantage it breaks my heart. Their English is sub par and their parents have no clue what is going on. My family used living in a large Hispanic community as a crutch to not learn English. They are stuck there forever, without the opportunity for advancement. I think its an embarrassment that a second generation Mexican-American can barely speak English. <br /><br />Bi-lingual classes hurt the Hispanic community. People think its "nice" to help out the young students. They think a gradual introduction to English is the best way to get them speaking English. They are wrong. Throw them in with the sharks, let them fall behind a grade if they have to and learn English. It helps the community, and American society as a whole.Carmen Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02195730733043985233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601874105598784590.post-84141186053603465992009-08-28T08:17:53.222-04:002009-08-28T08:17:53.222-04:00This is so true.

I was able to speak at very fluent levels and read/write at middle school levels because I wanted to learn the language. I meet people everyday that have lived in America for 10+ years that can barely speak English and it blows me away.Josh Rayhttp://www.deconstructingthenews.comnoreply@blogger.com
