sorry GG -
I'm not actually suggesting that you "teach them to equal fluency" in all languages, rather that you expose them to several words and phrases in all languages, and show them how the puzzle pieces fit together.
I had hoped that the LOL "preface" would reflect on my estimate of my own idea, NOT LOLing at you. OOppps.
I've never met anyone who actually did taught languages as suggested, so perhaps there a reason for that ;-).
It sounds like you are very frustrated with the gulf between your picture of what your cildren need educationally, and what they are getting. It's admirable that you are trying to fill that gap.
Love and More Love,
Trin
