[quote=Anonymous]It's 500 million, not 300 million -- just look it up.  The other poster got the number wrong.  I did not.  And it's pretty clear that your English is not nearly as good as you think it is, because you misunderstood my post completely.  I illustrated for you by way of my example that, yes, learning Spanish is helpful in business.

Beyond that, your problem is that you assume that learning a second language makes sense only if it's useful for business.  I don't agree with that, nor do many others.  Spanish is the second language of the United States -- business or not -- and it's worth knowing for that reason alone.  Spanish-speaking people contribute greatly to our nation.  Also, enrolling your kids in a dual language program almost by definition exposes your children to another culture besides your own, which is beneficial in its own right.

Honestly, OP, your English is not good.  You are not bilingual.  And if your Spanish is worse, as you say, then maybe that's why you have such a problem with Spanish DL -- you're frustrated because you haven't been able to learn  it yourself.
