Why aren't Spanish speaking kids getting an education?

How are we hurting our Spanish speaking children by holding them to a much lower standard, setting them up to be the next generation of maids and gardeners for the English speakers of all races.

Are you not aware, instanttraveller, by the way you have spelt it incorrectly, that Spanish has been spoken in North America much longer than English. Consult your history but I have a feeling that Anglophone Americans are not instructed about the real historical facts of the U.S. Ponce de León was the first coloniser to establish a settlement in San Agustín. Furthermore, just look at the names of 1000s of toponyms, e.g. Los Ángeles, San José, Florida, Colorado, Oregón, Montaña etc... : )

@cristobalito1966 You are absolutely correct. But how is that going to affect the fact, the theme throughout all of my videos that children, born in the United States are not learning English well, and that is putting them at a disadvantage in the world that now depends on English. That is all. And I believe it was the battle at Traflgar in 1805 that was the final defeat of the once proud and mighty Spanish. After that you have seen two "back-to-back" English speaking powers be the dominant...

Having different languages is no menace to a nation. Here in Britain we have English, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic, plus Cornish to a lesser extent so do not fear it.

@cristobalito66 Cristobal, please look at this video. In areas where there are high concentrations of Latinos many of the children born and raised here do not speak English well at all. Please see this video from beginning to end, youtube.com/watch?v=4pnF_Yn8l6­Y Joe

I live in the Twins Cities and we don't have the large minority communities like they have down south. Why does it primarily seem to be hispanics in Largely Spanish-speaking communities who have the most trouble learning English? Look, you don't have to be here many generations to have success in America. Many Ethnic groups have proven that, including many Latino's, Asians, Arabs, Africans, Europeans, Indians, etc.

@torofighter Please look at my other videos about this topic, at YouTube Search type:  1seckelman to see them. Thanks, Joe

What a poor excuse for the failing of illegal. If you don't want to speak English then get the hell out of this country. We taxpayers don't want to pay for your ignorance or stupidity.

@1seckelman As a Spaniard I am glad you acknowledge the Spanish heritage in the US in the first place, which many others don't. Of course the US have always been predominantly an Anglo-Saxon, English-speaking, Common-law country, and inmigrants should learn that language in order to integrate into mainstream America. A "No English, No Citizenship" makes perfect sense to me. But Spanish shouldn't be regarded as "just another" foreign language either, "alien" to the US. History proves otherwise.

california should address there fiscal problems first and foremost. the states public schools are already well underfunded. one step at a time. rome wasnt built in a day. lol

[cristobalito1966]

@1seckelman If you lived over here you would realise that languages are important e.g. in the United Kingdom if I want to work in Wales as a teacher, which I am, I would have to learn Cymraeg, as per law. If Hispanophones do not want to learn American English then so what? They have services in Spanish now. I have read here in the press that the U.S. will be the largest Spanish-speaking nation in the world in 2050. Long live diversity. Your fears are unfounded. You need to visit Europe, mate.
