Advantages to Speaking a Second Language

There is some debate over the issue of Spanish language that is being taught or not taught in public classrooms. While the majority of the population of the United States speaks English there are many immigrant citizens that have limited ability to speak the language. As the children of these immigrants enter the school system they are learning English and use both Spanish and English to communicate fluently between their parents and teachers.

While the children of immigrants are growing up bilingual there parents struggle to learn English, but the greater tragedy than that of the immigrants having to learn English is that the children of natural born citizens are making little effort to learn Spanish as a second language.
There are a few schools that offer kindergarten classes the option of English and Spanish lessons that cover the same materials in both languages consecutively but as the children progress through grade school and into middle school their exposure to and use of Spanish classroom communications drops off and the children are left with no real usable language skills in Spanish. The bilingual counterparts to Americas school children however have a tremendous advantage over them as they progress through the educational system, graduating and finding opportunities to use their bilingual skills that give them an advantage over the other students in school.
