The McKinney ISD is implementing a new program. Starting with this fall's kindergarten class, teachers will speak Spanish one day and English the next. This pattern will follow this class all the way through its elementary years. We're not talking about getting the same lessons in English and Spanish. The lessons will be new every day.
If you want to teach my kid Spanish, fine. But teaching him IN Spanish is a whole 'nother kettle of fish. Wonder how that will affect all the kids with Down Syndrome who have been mainstreamed and can't even keep up in English? More importantly, wonder how long it will be before Spanish is the official language of the U.S.?
