[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha. You all think you're raising "bilingual" kids, but all you're really doing is shortchanging them on what is valuable time for them to be building a strong foundation in English (English spoken by educated, well-read people with strong vocabularies), and the Spanish they are learning is likely the equivalent to the "English" you'd hear in bumfuck, USA. Just so you don't have to pay a real nanny, and so you can brag that your kid speaks both pigeon English and low class Spanish! Aren't they special![/quote]
Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm a linguist and my DC's English is superb. You're clearly upset that you aren't bilingual. Instead of spewing hate on DCUM, why don't you take a class? BTW- I feel sorry for any child left in your inadequate care. [/quote]

You're funny. One, I am bilingual, and I actually deal with these "bilingual" nannies during the day. They don't speak English, and their Spanish is uneducated street Spanish. Not exactly what you want your child learning. Two, you know nothing about the care I provide. Three, having an opinion you don't like is not spewing hate. I feel sorry for your kid. While their English may be superb (you aren't exactly unbiased) if you're also teaching them logic skills, they're in for a rough road ahead. [/quote]
