totally agree about bilingual education. And not in the wat our Ukranian schools were. Real bilingual. With ESL in the first 1-2 years to pull foreign speakers up to some level. We have a family in our practice from Cuba- fater married an American and got his 3 kids from his first marriage out of Cuba, they all started school last year, got ESL, now fluent in both languages, Spanish at home, of course, but they are doing phenomenally in school! And the oldest girl was 15 and did not speak a word of English last year. That' s the way is should be done, and it is done in the majority of cases.
