That's what I did. I spoke English the first day of class only, so I could explain what we were going to be doing. That was it. It works really well.
Our stomachs are going to be sloshing!
Today they think if you make them speak English it takes away their heritage
Which is not true .. I know many families who speak a different language at home with family .. but they always speak English in public
I have to admit that I am amazed at the
NC is a big ag state and they only have one INS building .. wow
Exactly. Speak whatever you want at home, but to get on in this country you need to learn English eventually.
Kyle is back up with an amendment
I'm a recently retired high school teacher here in Miami. At our school, we had 30 different languages represented. The only group catered to was in the "English for Spanish Speakers" class. One of my students, a legal immigrant from China, had no choice but immersion and she did just fine. Matter of fact, she asked me to be her Godmother because she wanted an English-speaking "Mom". Today, I'm proud to say she's a US citizen and is in pharmacy school.
I don't think that we need to have a whole cottage industry in English to Spanish books, classes, teachers. I'd much rather have the bucks spent on Civics courses.
What? Huge numbers of these illegals that McCain/Kennedy want to foist on us are CRIMINALS? I'll be interested to see, if this comes to a vote, who will vote against it.
Let's not take the fact that they are criminals as fact yet. The stretching of truth is being done by both sides. It's rhetoric. All I hear is rhetoric, let's fix the damn problem. GO AFTER THE EMPLOYEERS!
I have got to think that, if they haven't done it for the last 20 years, they are not going to do it for the next 20. As for not taking for a fact that they are criminals, I believe Kyl was talking about people who had been convicted and jailed. I guess I would take them for criminals.
No, it stems from the large number of Hispanic lobbyists and Spanish language-target businesses we have now. They made great headway into the ed system in the late '80's. Teachers here are required to take a Multicultural Education Training and Advocacy course, but it was generated from a lawsuit by Hispanic plaintiffs.
Great, then we will not be able to easily reverse it. But why don't they want their kids to learn English? They can keep their culture.
What has happened here this afternoon, anything noteworthy?
There are any number of similar transcripts that could be waived at him. He and his insane clown posse do this all the time.
Of course if you or I were the Majority leader, I don't know that they would have gotten away with it this often.
I would have told them, that for every half a day they STALL, they get an amendment that they want voted on taken away.
Okay, I'll vote for you for Majority Leader...in a heart beat.
