I have had the benefit of experiencing the public school system as a young Spanish-speaking child.
So, let me offer just a little insight.
Over thirty years ago, our classes were taught in English and we had a bilingual class to help with the language barrier.
I did exceptionally well given my circumstances and went on to have a wonderful, and rewarding education.
And language was never a hindrance.
I say, teach them in English and watch how fast they will absorb the English language.
I am appalled at how poorly Americans feel about our Mexican children.
They are smart and they should be given the opportunity to learn the American way. Believe me, they will catch up and surpass your expectations.
