It's not fair for a other language speaking person that doesn't know english have to learn it while almost place now has a Spanish translator doesn't the Spanish person have to learn english too?

Trying to nail the kids to get future generations famaliar with Spanish. They should teach other languages if the "more the languages you know the better" is true. Can't see Spanish taking us anywhere except to coddle those South of the border so they won't have to learn English.

Because it's a bit more useful to know Spanish.
I wish more schools had a better variety in language classes.

In America, a lot of jobs are starting to look for Spanish experience when they hire people. Spanish is like a second language here.

I think we would have to have much more Chinese and Tagalog speaking people live in our country.

spanish is a popular language in the us and it already has a lot of similarities to english so it's easy to show bits and pieces of in children's shows and have it make a difference in learning. there are lots of children's shows in other languages though, that are fairly readily accessible via cable tv, satellite, internet, etc.

Spanish is our country's other language.
and i don't think many parents want there kids to learn Chinese because it may not ever come in handy [[ no offense ]]

This is a great question!!! Because the Spanish speaking population in the U.S. is overwhelmingly high? Nah... they can learn the native language! There must be another reason but who knows it???

The largest "ethnic" population in the U.S. are those who speak Spanish. The largest growing "ethnic" population are those who speak Spanish as their first language. That is why Sesame Street is using Spanish to teach children.
