sounds like the bottomline is we've gotten lazy.

and it translates as substituting spanish for english in schools when english is the textbook of scholarhip in most foreign countries.

Now I could rant about that issue for a while. When my oldest daughter was in grammar school, they bused her to a district that was primarily latino. Many of the classes were taught entirely in Spanish even when English speaking only kids were present. The Christmas program was in Spanish. And the really galling thing was when they did testing to support the funds for all this, they included my daughter who spoke only English in the group needing bilingual help.

Frankly, I don't think they did any of those kids any favors, it only made it more difficult for them later in life.
