This mother sees the importance of English only classes for her son but the gov't sees it differently...

My favorite Beurocrat line in this piece:

""It is clearly stated in the plan. We don't say we have the answers, but we do have a program,""

LOL Big government at its best.

Sorry didn't see this thread before the other one.


<< Similar complaints from other parents are prompting former Hispanic activists to try to get onto next year's Colorado ballot with an initiative that would require that children not fluent in English be placed in a one-year English immersion program unless their parents specifically request bilingual education, which can take three years or more. >>

Sounds very reasonable, hence it is probably not going to work out that way since it involves government and the school board.

All the classes should be in English. People in the US that don't speak English should learn English. The Spanish-only-speaking students should have to take English classes after they learn English.
