Countless millions of us each managed to master English at school while we continued to speak with our immigrant parents at home in whatever their native language happened to be. Hundreds of different native languages. The problem is not a language problem. The problem is a domestic social problem. Energies and resources are misdirected when they are focused on the language aspect. Focus on the domestic social problem and the language problem will take care of itself as it has for the millions of immigrant children, past and present.
