Teach everyone three languages? There must be hundreds of thousands of kids in Kaleephornya schools who haven’t even mastered one!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have recently returned from a trip to Costa Rica. My husband and I attended language school there for 6 continuous months. While there we lived with Costa Rica families.

There are plentiful after school and weekend courses in English for adults and kids in every city. And,,,guess what? Parents and adults **PAY** for it. Imagine that!

They have it figured out. Being able to speak English can double a person’s salary in Costa Rica. They understand that English is the international language of business.

If Reuben really, really cares about his kids, then he’ll make sure that they master English. Then if he wishes to ice the cake with Armenian, then I suggest he do what Costa Ricans do. Pay for it himself!

Where did the article say his kids are NOT learning English? What’s so threatening about speaking more than one language to some of you folks? Most CEOs will tell you that speaking a language OTHER than English certainly is an asset.
