Bullshit. I will use the same argument I used for Ebonics:
In my childhood neighborhood NO PARENTS SPOKE ENGLISH at home!
The children learned from playmates and extra-neighborhood kids and parents and storekeepers, etc, etc, and by the time we went to the two-room school, while some pronounciations were funny, by Grade Two, English was being brought home to the parents!
If anyone cares, it was a Polish neighborhood. So I used to gleefully ask the Liberal Ebonics forces.."Are you saying that people of African ancestry are racially inferior to those of Eastern Europe, and cannot be taught English, you RACIST BIGOT??"
This usually produced a "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" look on their faces.
"Some kids -- they just don't learn as much if it's not broken down for them in such a way they can understand,"
Well, Yes, but I suspect the pieces of the breakdown are monosyllabic grunts. I just do not buy this!Learning a language is an easy thing for an ordinary child
