Answer:
I don't think they have a bit of business sending us text books for their kids in order to get us ready for a bi-lingual culture. Geeze. Why is it this bi-lingual culture means citizens must learn Spanish but they don't have to learn English? I could give 2 cents on Mexican culture. Seems if they want to fit in and survive here it would be in their best interest to learn about our culture. America now or ever was never a total "anglo" culture. Seems to me it wasn't that long ago people where harping about the black community and their lack of "family values" and female headed households. But it's just an "anglo" issue? Like as if the "anglos" invented divorce? I am sick of this propoganda of white hate and anti America. They don't sound much different than the radical Muslims comming to kill the infidels. I think they all must watch too much TV.
Absolutely not.
no we have our own publishers and textbooks
no offense, but when i think of mexicans textbooks, the word "outdated" comes to mind. sorry
NO! If the kids want to attend a school in America, let them learn English.
It really should be the other way around.....send english books to mexico....
nope, they should be taking their spanish speakers back to their country.
NO, i think Mexico govt need to buy a dictionary and look up the meaning of "sovereign nation"
No,if they want to be tought in Spanish they should stay in Mexico and learn there.
A relative command of the English language is a prerequisite for becoming an American citizen.
The policy of sending Spanish text books to American schools should be a wake up call to their true intentions.
That's crazy. Why would they want to send textbooks to the US? What benefit could they get from it? I believe that we should provide these books for our legal immigrant students. That being said, I personally think that it is in the childs best interest to learn English, and that while the Spanish books are needed early on, having these books should only be there to help them as they are learning English.
If they live there they should learn english, it´s fine if they want to speak spanish at home but their education should be in english. If their parents want them educated in spanish, they should stay here (in Mexico) You see?? some of us (mexicans) are still reasonable people. :-P
English Learners are what is wrong with our school. Schools are performing poorly because of EL. Of course, the statistics are hidden.
In California, 25% of our student population is EL.
no just send us the $45 billion a year that the Mexican government receives each year from the illegals working in the U.S
Absolutely not. If they are to be educated in US schools they need to be educated with our textbooks. I am of the strong opinion that we should focus more on teaching these children English and encouraging communities to ask for volunteers willing to tutor these children in Spanish to help them learn the subject matter.
It sounds like a great program, learning is never bad!
LOL!!!! No.
NO they should be in English
My answer NO. California has a conservative estimate of nearly 50% ESL, while the actual and local numbers are higher than 50%. This discourages integration and English emersion which is bad for the ESL student, the other half of the kids trying to learn in our country's language of English, and the school system.
No, emphasis should be put on them learning English.
