I just found out my kid's kindergarten class is teaching Russian 40 mins per day.

139. 1. English literacy is not always the primary language of immigrants! Duh.

4. What you fail to see is that the stats you provide (well sort of, you provide links) at best are multi-variate outcomes that have enormous numbers of confounding factors of which only one is childhood education in language -- though without examination, I think those stats have nothing to do with and do not mention and do not touch on childhood education in language.

5. No, the same can not be said about my claims. There is well-established evidence, uncovered by professional educators and scientists who study education, well-established evidence that childhood acquisition of second language skills helps with primary language skills.

But you deny the science without presenting any evidence against the weight of scientific examination of childhood acquisition of language skills.

You say yes to all my points and then jump to the opposite conclusion from them. That is lunacy. You are not a serious person.

Goodbye.
