I think that's a great idea - and count me in. Seriously.

What a spirited debate we are having. Education is always a great
idea! I would be willing to teach English - although I have no
education experience :) Mario would probably be a better candidate.
In the meantime, if a certain significant percentage of the
population speaks another language, in

Scott you've given me a business idea.
Why don't we start an Americanization School?
Non-political. Teach grade school level history, seminars on
schools, taxes, law, food, pop-culture, and how to take and pass the
test for citizenship.
Market it to Governments, Corporations, Schools and so
-how about the BOE offering english classes to families
or we could just create that private service, lease space from the BOE or some
other building
in AP, and get fed funds to do it.

It's a great point you make.
I have a winderful picture hanging in my office. It is from 1928.
About 3 to 4 feet wide.
It's 150 Immigrants being sworn in as citizens at the White House.
President Coolidge did the swearing in. My grandfater is in the
picture, having been sworn in that day.
