Sorry Goob, this topic was crushed way before I put in my 2cents...AND sorry for the double post...bad computer problems.
Fixed it for you.
Or "where's all the fighters" as opposed to "where are the fighters," though the answer is the same (the tanker's down).Some things just sound better before they are fixed, like "Where's all the single women" as opposed to "where are the single women"
Primarily because most spanish children don't even know proper spanish to begin with..let alone their alphabet/numbers/or proper names for certain items...so how can you teach them proper english when they don't even know proper spanish? Teachers face more of a difficulty because they're trying to teach these children 3 languages.... Tex-mex generally what the children in Texas speak at home, Proper spanish, and then transfer it to english. It's a slower process but eventually it is picked up with a better success rate.
I would consider labeling things in both English and Spanish as educational vs. a flaw in the system.
Of course in reality it's how much parents help and push their children to learn.
We're sticking both of our girls in the Japanese school system. "You live in Japan, you speak japanese" right? Are they going to speak english?..probably not. Will they have bilingual programs?...not sure..but probably not. I can let you know just how tossing your children into survival mode actually works and personally let you know in a few years if they were able to adjust. My guess is yes, but will this method work for all children? My guess is no.
Of course, everyone easily can say, "you live in America learn english" ,but when it comes to living in another country will you do the same with you and your family? sound off.
