'Mandatory ESL and Spanish instruction'
Well if you have these in ample quality and quantity then you are opening the doors to bilingual capability, aren't you .... which is what i propose, that no child should have the door to either shut to him, from a very early age .... which is why that unilingual kindergarten you mentioned way back was a bad idea, very bad .... open doors good, closed doors bad .... pretty simple stuff, and hard to see why it would offend anybody
ESL programmes can be quite good, we are involved with one here, i've taught classes even though i never went to college or even finished the equivalent of US high school ..... few hispanos in those classes, mostly asians, some europeans ... but it's all the same thing, once you are familiar with the steps from one tongue to another .... which i highly recommend to anyone, just set to learning another, doesn't matter which
Great line sarai, 'you have a complex it's that simple' ... lol, i'll have to remember that
