I am interested by the top response to this question- to me, as a teacher, it suggests that people don't actually really know what to do about the issues. The idea that schools *aren't* trying to do this already is laughable.

Intrigued by these results. Imo, it doesn't matter what the language is - it's what can delivered with expertise and given proper time. The important thing is the process learning of a language.

My in-laws are vegetarian, we are not. MIL offered to get pigs in blankets for Christmas; I said not to worry, don't need anything like that.

Turns out, she's bought these monstrosities...
