BILL WOULD RECOGNIZE MULTILINGUAL PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
ANNAPOLIS – Maryland could become the fourth state in the nation to establish a Seal of Biliteracy Program, which would recognize public high school graduates who demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English.
Students would have to demonstrate proficiency in not only speaking, but also reading and writing in one or more languages other than English – including American Sign Language – according to a measure pending in the State House.
“In the 21st century, we want a school system that recognizes the importance of languages and cultures as globalization increases,” said Delegate Ana Sol Gutierrez, D-Montgomery, who sponsors the bill.
Why did the TV show Dirty jobs have subtitles when they did the show on crabbing from Cambridge? You people can't even speak english let alone a second or third language.
Is Adiós, muchachos fluent enough?

ReplyDeleteWe'd be both happy and fortunate if kids could master English. Far too many don't.
As long as they are required to master English in order to graduate, I would be OK with this!
ReplyDeleteThe system needs a lot of improvement. My grandson had 5 years of Spanish and can't get a whole sentence together..
