St. Cloud schools see mixture of spoken languages

The article talks about how the number of students who speak a language other than English has grown so quickly that the school district has had to rapidly add staff to work with them. I think that this is great to see that kids are beginning to be proficient in other languages other than just English. It is great to broaden one's horizon and explore the different languages that exist. One thing that I found to be very interesting is that schools receive additional money for students who speak another primary language and are not proficient in English. I also believe that international students who come to America should immediately be enrolled in an ELL program. Its a step in the right direction and it is good to see the number of different languages being spoken locally right here in St. Cloud.
