Whatever happened to [NSFW]ING ENGLISH???
Going to Mexico to look for “teachers”. Says a lot for our colleges and universities, don’t it. This country is in worse shape than most of us think it is.
In the days of Democrat slavery and later their segregation, one of the few things which brought the most scorn was to teach blacks to read and write.
It seems the Democrats want to build the same ignorant servant under class to make their new slaves.
Ping to you!
Bilingual ed has got to end.
Arizona is trying to implement a law that says their school districts must break down the numbers and tell the public how much it costs to educate illegals attending school. If every district had to do that- the taxpayers would put an end to it and there would be no need for bilingual teachers. Another problem solved.
English ONLY.
Re-Americanize Texas.
Learning Spanish can be very useful for a career with The Border Patrol, landscaping, Corrections, law enforcement, or as a social worker.
They are going to Mexico to find teachers to teach classes in Spanish. I don’t think it occurred to most Universities that American teachers would be needed to teach classes in Spanish. Teaching Spanish as a foreign language option is great- teaching History in Spanish because large numbers of students have no grasp of English is another issue.
I have no issue with classes in Spanish as a foreign language course. The teaching in Spanish referred to here is teaching other courses like History and Science, ect. in Spanish because many students don’t comprehend English enough to learn if the course is taught in English.
Sure being bilingual is great, so let these kids learn English. Among other things, this is about aiding, abetting and encouraging the Spanish only crowd who probably aren’t legal to begin with. And it’s about having to pay more for teachers to accommodate them.
I’m a first generation American who didn’t speak a word of English when starting kindergarten. Fortunately, there was no nanny state to come to my “rescue.” After a few weeks of listening to the other kids I was conversant in English. Today, I have no accent. That’s how it should done...sink or swim.
Thias is disgusting and sickening
“They’re making a life change, not just a career change. They made sacrifices to come here,” Sandoval said.”
This POS Sandoval needs to be slapped
Dear God WE MUST stop this
That's how is used to be done. And that's still how immigrants from most other parts of the world do it. The come here and learn English. It's only the ones from Latin America that come here and demand to be taught in their native language, with some NEVER learning to speak English.
Aren’t these guy’s that band....”Boyz to Men”?
AND one transfer from New York... No references were EVER checked... No charges filed, but allowed to “retire” after a complaint.
Oh wait.....
This year, 2,300 Spanish-speaking Waco students in prekindergarten through sixth grade took bilingual classes. In three years, the district hired about 20 Mexican teachers.
When do they turn the Alamo into a medical clinic for illegal aliens?
This is about making them disabled in English, by not teaching them in English, thereby destroying their educational attaintment AND creating a huge cultural divisions in our state.
TAKS tests results for bilingual ed kids are absymal.
Bilingual education is bad for kids.
