[CTRL] Second language education

[Tenorlove]

 -Caveat Lector-

I believe that it is so important that I have begun teaching my
children at home (and learning alongside them). My six-year-old speaks
Spanish fluently. My four-year-old can converse with our Polish
neighbor in Polish, and is also learning Spanish. I'm finding it much
harder to become fluent. I'm not leaving it to American schools [aka
Morons 'R' Us] to educate my children. As my husband says "My honor
student hired and fired your bully."

 that English speaking children of taxpayers should be able to be
 trained
 in a second language of their choice so that their scores will go up,
 too.


 Absolutely. What's more, it should begin in kindergarten, while
 language
 acquisition capabilities are at their maximum.

 Is it paranoid to consider that America's state run schools put off
 second
 language training until later, when it is more difficult, because the
 powers that be don't want us to be able to understand what is being
 said
 about them in the foriegn press?

Hey Tenorlove...good for you!! Far better to know 2 languages than one...
Noam Chomsky has written that our ability to learn new languages is at its
peak in early childhood when the "language center" of the brain is still
growing (hence the ability we have at an early age to learn the language of
our parents) and that our ability to learn new languages diminishes with
age...not that it's impossible, clearly it's not (though it may seem to be).


Bill.
