What r Your Thoughts on Bilingual Education in America?

[Guest]

I think (and I am a minority) that AA did need to go. It only caused more resentment on the part of the Caucasions (not all, I realize). Minorities should be more active, as they were in the fight against Jim Crow and stuff. Anyhow, I also wanna say that I think bilingual education is unnecessary (to put it nicely). If they’re going to come to America (legally) fine, but they need to learn the language. As if California schools aren’t doing badly enough with just English! I know I’m a month late with this (I just heard about this forum), but I had to say something. :) By the way, what was that AA variation?

Personally, I think it should be allowed by limited. Your not going to be able to teach kids anything in english if they don’t understand it in the first place. It only should be allowed to teach one to speak English.

Where in Canada do you live? How much French is spoken?

[cystic crypt]

I live in Manitoba - one of 2 “bilingual” provinces in the country (the other being New Brunswick). In Winnipeg (the capital city) is the largest French-speaking population west of Quebec. There are also a number of francophone towns scattered throughout the province, and all provincial literature (as well as Federal) is in both French and English. (there are also large German, Ukrainian, Icelandic etc. populations here, but those are by no means “official languages”.
