OT – Bilingual Education

[Anonymous]

These laws have nothing against the kids learning other languages; they prevent kids growing up speaking only Spanish. Just what outtamojo said.

CA renter the film is about providing immersion programs for kids in their non-native language (the language they don’t speak at home).

For Spanish speakers that would be immersion in English. For English speakers, that would be becoming fluent in Spanish or Chinese, etc…

I recommend watching the film when they replay it on TV.

I believe that in America, people are English centric to their detriment. It’s like it’s a point of pride not to speak any foreign language (it should be shameful, in my opinion).

In Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, etc, people are all bilingual in their native tongues and English.

You guys have it easy.
I studied German in grades 1-10, English 11-12, Russian 3-8 and Latin 9-12, each with at least three hours of lectures/week. And I was on natural sciences track where the emphasis was on math, physics, chemistry and biology (in that order).

The kids on social track had more hours and another 6 years of a Roman language of their choice (either French or Italian).

Even the kids on the vocational track would meet Harvard’s foreign language requirement 🙂

Again, why is being English centric a detriment? Like it or not English is the most important language in the world and is the only language necessary to be live and do business in the U.S. If Americans want to learn other languages that is great, but it is nothing but a hobby or intellectual pursuit for most.
