If speaking multiple languages is so important, why has Mexico not taught English in their schools? I also wonder if they teach Spanish in other English-speaking countries, such as Australia, Great britain and Canada? What about other countries, such as Germany, Italy, and France? Do they teach Spanish? Doubtful. I feel sure that Japan and China teach English, but Spanish? Doubtful again. And, to the "lily-footed" gal, no, WE are not the ignorant ones.
