Something tells me that English is not the native language of this writer.
Sure. Why not? These kids do have a skill... That said, they better damn sure know English.
There's a very good part of the that is extremely skeptical. I'd be willing to bet a very high percentage of the students took this class to simply coast. Nothing quite like challenging yourself in something knew. That said, again, why not get the credit that's there?
Sunset high is in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas and is probably 90% hispanic. I guarantee these same students cannot pass an English test with the same results.
"Whoever can speak two languages is worth twice as much."
Great. As long as one of them is English. The market will decide.
Correct me if I am wrong.
These Spanish speaking descendents of Mexicans sign up in High School for Spanish class.
They get A's in Spanish,because they already know the language.
Then they use the A's they get in high School to get to go to College and study more Spanish?
Not a bad Scam.
