I enjoyed the discussion about Hispanic Americans and what we got into at the ending about a National Language. We are United States of America I think if you live here you should speak what is predominately spoken, English. Also as someone mentioned in almost every country in the world, English is taught because its Universal. So why don't most people speak it? I was doing an internship in Dunkirk School 3 a few semesters ago and working with an English Language Learner Student and she had to translate for her mother who didn't speak a word of English. How is that fair to the child who is trying to learn a new language. We as parents are supposed to set a good example for our kids.
