  1. I received a pretty pathetic American elementary education in the 60s, but then wonderful, traditional education at the local community college, then university. It’s sad to see what’s happened to community colleges here since then. All culturally important curricula like history, art, architecture, math and science, and foreign languages have been replaced by vocational training and English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction. There is indeed a great need to get the huge numbers of Hispanic immigrants into English-speaking paid employment, but I don’t think it should be at the expense of a traditional education for everyone. We need separate community education to get these immigrants, whom I welcome, enough basic skills to enter traditional community colleges. American high schools are routinely graduating students who can’t read or write English or do any arithmetic, it’s only based on “time served”. If you sit there for four years, you will get a diploma.
