Speaking In Tongues

In class today we viewed a documentary called "Speaking In Tongues." This was a great video that showed what is possible if we emerse our children into a different culture at a very young age. These children are being taught to be bilingual from their kindergarten year throughout their educational career. A child's brain is most maleable during their early years. That is why it is essential to get them going on a different language as soon as possible. It expands the capacity of their brain and uses parts of it that don't usually get stimulated at that age. The children enrolled in these schools experience a higher level of learning and accomplishment. I think that schools and programs like these are a fantastic idea and I hope to see more of them in the future. It will greatly benefit our nation to see these programs thrive.
