Curiously, at 7:04 P.M. on this date, I finished the most horrible book I’ve ever had to read about how our schools should all be taught bilingually...I mean, in Spanish AND English...I mean, our kids should have to learn SPANISH!
It levels the playing field, donchaknow.
When I was growing up, right here in America, we spoke English, Greek and some French in the house. When I went out to play, my friends spoke French, Later in school it was French everyday along with English. Years later I find that knowing three languages made picking up a fourth and a fifth, at least to the level of carrying on a civil conversation, very, very easy.
Given the hemisphere we live in, I think bilingual education from kindergarten through high school in Spanish is an excellent idea. I’d require Latin too as it trains the mind to think in an ordered fashion...and of course, everyone, especially Christians, should at least read Greek. :)
