MEXICAN TEACHERS IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS

Guess who is teaming up with government schools in Utah? Mexico. Yep, you heard me right. Mexico and Utah signed an agreement called the Memorandum of Understanding on Education. You know what my understanding is? That kids shouldn't be sent to public schools in the first place. But I can guarantee that's not what this memo said.

So what is their "understanding"? Hiring Mexican teachers. Why? Because 40% of students in Utah government schools speak Spanish. So instead of making the kids learn English ... we are just going to teach them in Spanish. Assimilation? Yeah, right. Your government wants to make sure that little Jose is comfortable in his second grade class. It doesn't want any "at risk" children to fall behind or feel left out. Never mind that they're essentially left behind when they graduate from these idiot government schools and still can't speak our language.

Here's a lesson: parents, teach your kids English. If you don't know English, learn it. If you want to succeed and thrive in America, lean the language of America .... NORTH America ... and that language isn't Spanish.

Another kicker in this little memorandum is that the "arrangement" required several staff trips to and from Mexico. Guess who was footing that bill. The taxpayers. Of course. Not to mention the fact that the Mexican teachers will have an orientation week funded by the Office of Education (aka. Taxpayers). The orientation includes finding housing. Knowing our government, that's probably on the taxpayers' dime as well.

And the sub-headline is just priceless ... like they are trying to justify it to the public: "They will help Spanish speakers do better in school; no Utahn is being deprived of a job." There are so many things wrong with that statement. But that's government for you!

i cant believe the author doesnt know what north america consists of.

they would be more correct saying 'learn the language of the united states.'

they also need to proofread, not just spell check.
