All children should be required to learn a second (or third) language at home or in schools

"Obviously, with your statement you do not understand what practicability means." Practicability is the capability of being practiced, synonymous with the term feasibility. My proposal is very well capable of being enforced. And I have given you several examples supporting the possibility of enforcement in the REAL world, you just completely overlooked them. The fact that I stated that I do not expect my proposal to be enforced right now does not make me "ambivalent" towards my side of the argument. You claim "I am not comparing the two, but I was just trying to point out that you"re understanding of the practicability of the proposal is weak." Yet, you haven't explained why you feel that way nor have you provided any examples to support your opinion. In what ways is there flaw in my proposal? Why is practicability of my proposal "weak" and in what ways is it not possible? If my proposal is "impractical" then why are there other, LESS diverse, nations in the world who have had little to no issue with introducing bilingual education in schools? You also claim "First, you want to be require the school and the family to teach all children another language. ' I think you completely misunderstood what I was referring to when I said "at home". I meant students should be required to practice their language learning abilities in the household with resources provided to them by their educational facilities. And that parents should encourage this by allowing their children to be immersed into a language aside from the one they are already used to speaking at home. For example... When a child starts school, there should be language courses on campus to introduce a new language aside from the one the child already speaks (which would most likely be English) in order to introduce bilingualism early on in childhood development. Throughout their educational career, children would be introduced to a new level of difficulty in the area of language they study as they move forward in grade level, much like schools currently do with mathematics and reading courses. Homework should be given to the child addressing what exactly they learned in school that day, encouraging the child to study and learn the new language at home and if possible, the parents can aid in their language development by encouraging them to keep up with their language abilities and take them seriously, just as any other school course. Many schools in the U.S. have already taken advantage of this method bilingual education and language learning early on in childhood development and most parents are in favor of this. I will provide video evidence of this, feel free to take a look. Expert Tips on Encouraging Bilingual Education - http://www.portlandfamily.com... As you can see, it is possible. Learning languages in schools is no different than learning how to read or learning how to multiply or divide. And as children move on to the next grade they are more immersed in the material that was introduced to them in the previous grade level. Many places in the world have already done this as well which is why their countries have a significantly larger bilingual population than most other countries in the world that only encourage monolingual education. You then claim "Second, you are saying that your proposal is not meant to be enforced." I said my proposal was not "meant to be enforced" because it's just that, a proposal. It is not a new law in which I desire to pass. The topic of my debate is for the debate only. I do not expect anything to happen because I made a suggestion. The question should be "Is the proposal possible?" in which I have already answered, yes it is because there are plenty of schools globally that teach children new languages and encourage bilingual education in education facilities. The second question should be "Is this good for society?" and you even said that it is, so as far as I am concerned you already answered that question for me. Bilingual education is clearly beneficial in society. A Global Perspective on Bilingualism and Bilingual Education - http://www.cal.org...
