You don't have to provide the money to set up these ESL programs, Then who does? but they will make learn English easier and more likely. I'm not saying you can't bitch about people not learning English, you have to acknowledge if there aren't programs teaching it, then it is not so easy. I honestly couldn't care less how difficult it is. It's irrelevant. Now a general rant on education. See, the thing with education is that very often people, students, are blamed for not learning something. Very rarely are teachers actually blamed (I should say punished) for not teaching something. Most people recognize the fact that people learn better when they are taught something. This is why we go to school and are not left to our device to learn stuff. If people are not being taught or taught well, then that makes learning difficult and it lowers the desire to learn as well. This is especially true for the less educated. So if the teachers/systems are to blame, how come some students excel while others don't? You're looking at different social economic brackets here. Most modern day immigrants from China are either highly educated, or here to receive higher education. You can not function in the colleges of this country without knowing English. Immigrants form Mexico are typically not in this bracket (and yes there are some who come here for higher education, etc, they too learn English). That's very stereotypical of you to say. So the nice old chinese immigrant lady who brings me my route 44 dr pepper at sonic is some wealthy person with a higher education? I don't buy your economic excuse. You don't have to be rich or well educated to learn a language. How many poor ass uneducated people out there have you seen that know both English and Spanish? TONS. |

and in my opinion, with no research to back it up, other countries put up signs and such in English because they want the tourism commerce. Not because they are globally actualized.

Yeah, but the tourism isn't from Americans its from all other countries, and everyone learns english so they don't need to learn the language of everywhere they go. I know in Austria they were forced to learn both english and german, with a third language of thier choice also required. -------------------- |
