This post is from Stefan Korn from DIYFather, A Father's Guide to Parenting. He talks about a very important issue that faces many families in the world today - multilingual households and parenting strategies.We are in a somewhat unique situation (I guess) in that we've got 3 generations in 1 house, cover 3 languages between us and run a language school. Our mix of Spanglemanish (Spanish, German and English) makes for some great conversation in the house and many hilarious moments of being lost in translation. With our latest addition to the family of course the question came up of how we will bring him language wise. My wife has a teaching degree in Spanish and English Philology (language and culture) which I'm hoping will come in really handy when our son goes to school. But when do yo

OMG! I am so embarrassed. I didn't go to work today for personal reasons that only women over the age of 30 can understand, which was not a problem but there's more to the story...I'm not supposed to report to work until 9:00 a.m., well I got up at 7:30 this morning and decided I'm not going to work. A few months ago our office had an answering machine so I was basically able to call anytime if I wasn't going to work, now we don't have an answering machine anymore and I don't know why.Anyway...I went back to bed and woke up at 9:30 so I knew I had to call in. I tried but my cell phone had little signal. Option #2: I text messaged a coworker because most of the time if I don't have a signal to make a call, I can still text. She texts back saying, "You need to call ____ (the boss)So apparently she's at work, I think, and has probably told the boss that she got a text from me saying I'm not coming in. My boss is okay most of the time but there is a communcation problem because s

Hawthorne's bilingual program, where 200 students are taught in Spanish for half the school day and in English the other half, is one of only two of its kind in Kentucky.The other is at Maxwell Elementary in Lexington.Since adopting the programs, both schools have seen their test scores increase dramatically."When we first started it, people were afraid that the students wouldn't do well," Hawthorne teacher Flora Martinez said. Hawthorne's scores have risen more than 30 points to 95.6 on the Commonwealth Accountability Testing System since it began the program in 2002.And Maxwell has seen its scores climb 11 points to 100 since 1999.At both schools, math and science are taught in Spanish and reading and social studies are taught in English.This from the Courier-Journal.
"The government should quit mandating that various documents be printed in any one of 700 languages depending on who randomly shows up" to vote, said Gingrich, who is considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. He made the comments in a speech to the National Federation of Republican Women. "The American people believe English should be the official language of the government. ... We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto," Gingrich said to cheers from the crowd of more than 100.This from the Huffington Post.
English immersion or both languages at once?This from the Dallas Morning News.IRVING - In a school district with the region's highest percentage of children with limited English skills, a rift has emerged over the best way to educate them.Last fall, Irving school board president Randy Stipes proposed a pilot program in English immersion. But his idea – pitched at a board meeting – was quickly shot down. Superintendent Jack Singley told him it was against the law. The state requires bilingual education.That seemed to be the end of it. Then word of the exchange reached state Rep. Linda Harper-Brown, R-Irving. She filed a bill this legislative session that would give school districts the option to offer English immersion or ESL programs for students learning the language.
