I asked Grok - How many languages are used in the chicago public school system? It said 150!!

Ah, the languages are employed to teach the curriculum to those who don’t speak English, how does one learn English if the person you are teaching doesn’t understand English, duh

Hellen Keller did pretty good at that. In fact, immersion generally works better than second-language programs.
You got to be one of those anal retentive who get pissed off cause you have to push one on your phone to get the English version of something
Nope.
 
Helen Keller was a once in a generation talent, and, she had special individual care helping her along the way, you recommending public schools hire individual tutors for each student
Doesn't change that immersion works. Generally, the problem is the way these programs are carried out, not the concept. Put another way, a great teacher with shitty materials in a creaking, drafty, classroom will outperform a mediocre teacher with all the latest teaching aids and equipment in a Taj Mahal classroom.

Teachers unions ensure mediocrity prevails. Dues are more important than competence.

Shocker, it’s the teachers and their Unions fault, again, if you are relying on immersion, what do you need teachers for, just let them listen to language records
 
You better go study the Azteca building and municipal services, which provided the cleanest living environment for the largest city in the word.

You better go study Mayan architecture and math.

You are illiterate on this subject.
 
This is so stupid. Mono-lingualism is a wonderful thing for a country to have and we are throwing it away! Only english should be used in public schools unless it's a class actually teaching a foreign language. Here is the complete grok response.
Hey, Asshole...

...ALL OF THE LANGUAGES USED IN AMERICA except for the native American languages...ARE FOREIGN LANGUAGES.
