I guess we should also put an end to AP english since the majority of students already speak english.

It probably takes considerable effort to teach them to speak, read, and write formal Castilian Spanish.

Most don’t really know how to “speak” spanish well enough to do something like write a coherent essay.

Then again, most US citizen students don’t speak English well enough to write a coherent essay either.

Gotta love those teacher’s unions.

They should be mastering English, band English grammar has identical concepts related to good Spanish. Even if these students are “fluent” which, in most cases the mainstream (ignorant) media probably defines as “communicating well in the language,” their level of Spanish may be horrendous. Thus, if the AP Spanish course is well-taught, it can improve both the student’s Spanish and English skills.

My heart is on fire after hearing about $900 million to the Palestinians.

This song comes to mind.

Cheech And Chong - Mexican American

Mexican Americans don't like to just get into gang fights, they like flowers and music and white girls named Debbie too.

Mexican Americans are named Chata and Chella and Chima and have a son in law named jeff.

Mexican Americans don't like to get up early in the morning but they have to so they do it real slow.

Mexican Americans love education so they go to night school and they take spanish and get a B.

Mexican Americans love their Nana's and their Nono's and their Nena's and their Neno's........ Nano Nano Nena Nono!

Mexican Americans don't like to go to the movies where the dude has to wear contact lenses to make his blue eyes brown cause don't it make my brown eyes blue.....

"And thats all i got, how do ya like it?"

Let’s see...10 grand...26 kids in a class... $260,000 a year. Those poor, underpaid teachers. No wonder they all voted for Obama. He wants more money for education.

Well, then why does every high school kid in America take 4 years of English?
