:wall: Right along with ya. That's just DUMB!!!

ROFLOL you simply can not appreciate how hillarious this is to me.... my my my... how funny... ya know, I once graded my own test paper an handed it back to a jerk wad teacher wit nuthin more then my name an the grade on it...... care to take a gander at what the test was? ROFLOL An entire test in mexican, not jes any mexican, but hand written mexican..... I hadn't a clue what it said... it was for mexican class... but bein the only white guy there an not knowin how to read mexican.

So long as the kids an the parents are here legally, I don't mind givin the test in thier lingo, only to the exculsion that they'd havta retake the test in english later, the goal should be an have been, to teach english anyways.

You must not have learned anything in that class.

They speak Spanish in Mexico!

For a party (the Republicans) who hate big government they sure are trying to crowd into State territory.

Usually, each state has the right to determine what is taught in its schools. If the State of Illinois has a bilingual education program, then the federal government shouldn't stand in the way of it.

I know; I'm starting to sound like a libertarian.

Well, it's quite obvious to me you don't know your butt from hole in the ground. Much like we do in this country, there are various areas of differin dialect, in mexico they don't jes speak spanish, an seeins how I was not in mexico but rather 30 miles from the boarder where they do not speak spanish the speak a dialect commonly referred to as tex-mex. The teacher was a tex-mex spoken teacher an a proper verb spanish teacher. An anyone who has had thier foreign lingos classes in high school should know, they don't teach you how to read, write er even speak the lingo, they don't even bother to teach phonetics... a beginin in bein able to master another lingo. In TX way back when, donno if it's still the case er not, to graduate you had to have 2 years of classes.

Pretty sure we've all had to have em, mind honestly tellin me if you can speak the one you studied in high school?

I still think it's :screwy:

It's a achievement test right? Just something to see where they are sitting academically not fail the test and you're here for another year....

umm if I was taking spanish, or mexican or french (I surrender) I'd expect the achievement test to be in that language.. umm hello..... how am I gonna see how much of Language x I know if I take teh test in language y?

No comprendo
