No Spanish? No job, teachers told
Spanish-speaking students are flooding into an Illinois school district so fast that teachers who educate in English only are being involuntarily transferred, and they believe there will come a time when they no longer will have a job.
"I know what the trend is, and it's not looking good," Valerie Goranson told the Chicago Tribune. "Even if my job was saved this year, what about next year?"
She has twice lost a teaching assignment in the Waukegan district because she doesn't speak Spanish, she said. Last year, after teaching 5th grade at North Elementary for six years, district officials moved her to Clark Elementary to make room for a Spanish-speaking teacher at North.

This does not surprise me. We have found that it's increasing hard to even get a job if you are not bi-lingual in Illinois.

Does someone "have" to learn how to use a computer to get a certain job? What's the difference?? Do you whimper b/c you don't know how to type, or do you go learn? Come on, people, it's not that hard!

This is America, where the native tongue is English. If I were to move to another country, I would need to learn the language. This is not Mexico!

Maybe. But it won't be the first country in the world to have more than one language.

No, it won't. However, I do not think we should have to learn a second language...the Hispanics can learn English...how hard is that? My Great Grandfather had to learn English when he came over on a boat from Greece in 1918.
