Schools should teach in English.
Sure; master that, then venture into other languages. American taxpayers are disgusted by these programs by which their tax dollars are basically paying for this BS for foreigners (while few American children are in the school systems).
Isn’t teaching English racist? /sarc
Bilingual education has been a racket for decades, anyway. In major cities like NYC and Los Angeles it is just a way to push students into classes that require more teachers anyway -- basically a boondoggle for the teacher's unions.
There was a ridiculous scam in NYC about 25 years ago where schools were pushing children of recent immigrants into bilingual English-Spanish classes even though the kids were from immigrant families that didn't speak Spanish at home. I remember a big expose report on the subject in one of the NYC newspapers at the time, with a number of examples of kids in these programs who were from Korea, Bangladesh, the Middle East, etc.
Yes—like they used to do when literacy rate was 97 percent.
How evil to teach in only “one” other language when we have many other languages spoken by all the immigrants we take in. Why favor one over the others.
It is evil and not equal to prefer one over all the others and a “justice system” can’t promote evil and remain a “just” system. The “schools” have to be closed down or teach English to all, since it is our language of all legal documents, so all immigrants have equal access to success in America.
It is very useful for managers to know what their entry level employees are saying. Also for others to know whether the streetcorner kiddos are saying, “Let’s move a little, we’re blocking his way” or “What a *$%&#, let’s take his toys”.
Agreed.
Otherwise, they're simply creating another generation of chronically-unemployed manual laborers.
Ah well: no matter how high-tech our society becomes, we'll still need maids, dishwashers, ditch-diggers...
I used to be a teacher and while this sounds good, I’m not convinced the kids are getting any real academic content.
They know nothing about history,government,logic, etc..just a skim coat of everything.
They are multicult playtoys nothing more
