In this article Dr. Lisa Doggett is saying that Austin should have more dual language classes for the kids. She thinks it should start in elementary school because the kids learn a different language quicker when they are young. Instead normally you have to take a second language in high school. She doesn't see why you have to wait til you get to high school to start learning another language. She also complains about how their are very few bilingual health care workers in the hospital.
I'm all for learning another language and having dual language education for the youth in school today. I don't think that it should be a priority though. You have these Spanish people coming from there homeland to a English speaking country. They should have to learn our language not us learning their language. Why should we have to accommodate to them and learn to speak their language They are going to school just like us. They need to be in a English class learning English. I'm so tired of us having to learn Spanish for them to help them out. NO how about you learn english and help us out. Say we moved to their country and we didn't know spanish. Would they teach english so that people will understand us and help us out? I say no to that question. I don't think that Dual-Language Eduacation should be a priority in school unless they are teaching the spanish speaking kids how to speak english also.
