[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the millionaire.  I have never sat on a business meeting, and there was a person speaking in Arabic.  Everyone spoke in English including the Arab business men.  We need to stop feeding our kids that learning another language matters.  It does not matter.  EL Haynes need to worry about more pressing educational issues.  The language for capitalism is English, and it will always be English.  Now, if you want to be translator at the UN, take your hippy butt and learn another language.[/quote]

You are of course entitled to your opinion.  I must say though that if you're a millionaire and your own kids don't speak English well, why are we listening to your opinion on education at all?  I'm miles and many many hundreds of thousands away from being a millionaire, and my kids speak excellent English.

There are many benefits to bilingual education, but if that's not for you and your family, fine... I just hope you've got a Plan B because your kids don't speak English well and you think English will absolutely always be the language of capitalism.  You may be in for some rude awakenings down the line...[/quote]
