ESL - Second Language?

July 9th, 2009

Why teach this in public schools to foreign students? I know we don’t have an “official” language, but English is the default language spoken in this country. In fact, most of the world speaks English.

America has turned into a weak nation where we have to appease everyone. Guess what America? Life is not fair. Sometimes you win, most of the times you lose. Dust yourself off and move along.
