I didn’t speak any English so the first few weeks of school were a bit traumatic

So it only took the kid a few weeks to learn English sufficiently well to communicate. A hard worker, obviously. That fact, of course, flies in the face of liberals who want to shove "bilingual education" down our throats as a remedy for Latinos' lack of educational success (as a whole). It would force them to ponder a truth too difficult to swallow.

Kudos all the way around for this American.

That's the best evaluation of "bilingual education" that I have ever read.
