[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I meant by above what would be the best use of resources is in terms of what second langauge to teach as a foreign langauge? OR is it your premise that because these children are hispanic they should not be taught ANY foriegn langauge becuase their exposure to Spanish verbally at home is essentially the same as full mastery of a language and therefore they should not be given the benefit of being taught a second langauge?[/quote] My thought is making a majority Hispanic school a FLES school for Spanish should be a far lesser priority than [u]teaching everyone English[/u], be it through standard language arts instruction or ESOL resources. I can think of better ways to spend the FCPS budget.[/quote] So the basic premise of your argument is that [b]these children being brown and having Spanish surnames[/b] [/quote] ...and that's exactly where I stopped reading your preachy post.
