Speaking in Tongues

Speaking in tongues is a documentary we watched in class that followed four students in the         San Francisco public school immersion program. The students shared how they felt about the program and learning in school using another language. Families talked about how proud they were of their kids, and how they know another language that will allow them to have more opportunities throughout their lives. The documentary showed how it is important to be bilingual in the world today, because the world keeps getting smaller all of the time. I like the idea of the program and I wish it was available when I was younger. These schools are a stepping stone toward educating our children to be competitive in the global market.
