We teach foreign languages, but for the most part, have no intention of producing people who can speak those languages. It’s sort of a stupid use of resources.

Hi…

I just got here… looking over this thread and the subject matter. This problem could be easily solved if we mandated that all students and teachers be fluent in Spanish and English. And the amount of money we would save would be enormous. We wouldn’t need duplicate forms for this or that, we could publish them in what ever language the state or federal government suggested, if we dialed a number and got a automatic voice systems speaking in Spanish, we would not be confused by having to hit certain numbers or delve through a myriad of menus to get to hear something in English and it wouldn’t matter if marketing material is in English or Spanish, a whole area could be covered by the predominant language of the region.

Really easy to solve.
