Starting next year, Kindergartens will be available in HISD to teach 50/50 Spanish/English to prepare our children for living in a "21st century global village". Info session April 3 at Humble elementary.

I have to agree with @herron1345.I am hispanic, yes, but my parents did not teach us spanish because they told us they would get in trouble for speaking it in school and they didn't want us to go through that.  My aunts and uncles didn't teach my cousins either. Now, I know it is a benefit to speak it but it really chaps my hide when I am out and someone comes up to me and starts speaking to me in spanish and when I tell them nope, don't speak it, they look at me like I have 2 heads and are in disbelief. So I ask them "Habla ingles??" and the answer is usually no.. um, yeah, we ARE in America and we speak English.  4951

@topcat:
I think it's awesome, it will go a long ways career wise... There are so many good job opportunity for bilingual speakers.

@mrsames77Since English is the Official Language of America, I think that ALL schooling should be taught in English........And any additional offered languages (approved by the parents) should be considered extracurricular, and can be made available to those students........And if HISD is trying to "prepare our children for living in a "21st century global village," then I suggest they teach Chinese... 4951

It's dual and I couldn't care less. We Americans will be in the minority before too long so why not prepare them young?
