I don't know what happened but I think it got shot down. It would be nice But the cost of duplicating a whole education system seems to be a bit drastic.. It really doesn't get that kid to where he can communicate in a mostly english speaking country and possibly limiting his potential... In the case that a person doesn't want to change his language. This is a great country they can do that.. But in a society which speakes a diffrent language puts you with only the small group you can comunicate with. Most likely limiting thier possiblities. And the same goes for us. If we can comunicate with english langauge and spanish now our horizons open up........

Exactly what I am getting at, if people want to speak a language that isn't english, that's their own choice and they aren't hurting anybody except possibly themselves. It is great that people have that choice, now if only more people could respect that choice and those people.
