Meanwhile, Back in the USA
Education Week reports on how various cities deal with translation issues in their school systems:
The 750,000-student Los Angeles school system runs what many say is the most comprehensive school translation and interpretation service in the country. The district employs 79 full-time translators and interpreters and spends about $6.2 million a year for translation services.
That kind of money could be used to provide Berlitz English immersion classes for a lot of people and solve the problem for good, instead of creating yet another costly school system bureaucracy. But jobs are what the mandatory multilingualism crowd is interested in creating.
