Talking about teaching two languages when we got a large percentage that can’t even read one. The kids that will actually try to learn a foreign language should be allowed to choose. Making a big push for Spanish makes sense but not from where we’re at. The Spanish speaking kids are going to learn English anyway. But the English speakers aren’t going to learn Spanish well enough to really matter. One of the luxuries of speaking English is you really don’t need another language to communicate internationally.
