Learning English without home language

Here are the arguments for singular focus on learning English in early childhood without the home language. Fatima Kalim, from creative department of Ogilvy & Mather, lays out this widely popular point of view. Pakistan's past two generations have been brought up on this paradigm: in impressionable early childhood avoid confusing the child with other languages to learn and focus singularly on English. The moot question is whether the 21st century needs us to shift paradigm: welcome, preserve and promote the home language as the foundation for cognitive development and inculcate skills to learn English better.
