Le quería escribir este blog en español porque los jefes de las escuelas en Esmeralda County, Nevada son ignorante - especialmente sobre la historia de la gente indígena de su territoria.
Whether we like it or not, we must appreciate that English is a power language. Being proficient in reading, writing and speaking English will be your child's key to economic success. Having them get a good paying job will hinge upon their English skills. That is one of the key reasons I support having every child practice their English speaking skills as much as possible. Thus, when your youngster is in school and on the bus we ask them to practice speaking English. Sure it is more comfortable for many to speak their native language. But what is always more comfortable is not always is in their best interest.

"We think it violates (students) free speech and their First Amendment rights," McLetchie said. "And it implicates not only the students that are Spanish-speaking, but students who speak Spanish as well."
