I've posted a link from a blog in the local Atlanta paper. If you have time, I'd like to know what you all think on this subject. With the Spanish-speaking population becoming more and more prevalent in Georgia, many school districts are trying to implement bilingual education. Of course I don't think this is a bad idea seeing that I would proabably be fluent in Spanish ( and maybe another language) had I started in elementary school rather than high school. And I know the extended benefits into other subjects.
So, what would you say to these people who think it's an "insult" to Americans and our society to "make" their children learn another language. What do you say to people who say "It's America and in America we speak American/English. Send 'em home if they can't learn it." (BTW, I love when people say we speak American, makes me giggle a little and gives me a glimpse into their heads)
I just can't grasp why some people would be against this. Any thoughts? |
