Foreign Language Classes in Elementary School

You know that kid down the block that went to a bi-lingual pre-school years ago and now speaks beautiful Spanish?  Did you ever notice that kid speaks English perfectly as well and had no drop off in his math or science skills?  I still occasionally hear the argument that kids shouldn't learn another language until they have mastered their first, but thankfully, it's rare.  I think just about everybody is on board here.  Kids learn foreign languages exceptionally well and language education should absolutely be part of their elementary education.  Good to see that's happening.
