Its hard to tell because they also stopped teaching English in NY about 20 years ago.
Got that right. It was appalling to me that could could walk down a street I grew up on and hear THREE different languages spoken, none English! I am a former “life-long” New Yorker as of a couple months ago. I now live in a southern state. I figure I’ll be “safe” there for a while, until I need to bail to some country in Latin America that still respects basic freedoms. Of course, this will mean reluctantly learning Spanish...a language that is not particularly “music to my ears. :((
