Reply #86: Bilingual education, at least in some states. [View All]

In some cases, they really push getting you into English; not so much in other states. Maybe it depends on the teacher. Schools where I used to live also had Russian and Japanese immersion for elementary school kids, it was pretty much an all white, all native-born community.

But I'm not sure the emphasis on English is because it's official, or just necessary. 300 million people, most speak English, teachers mostly speak English, textbooks are mostly in English ...

Although you may be right: the language of instruction may stipulated in the law in some states.
