The video Speaking in Tongues surprised me in a few different ways. First off, when the father of a Chinese student was complaining how only two and a half hours of the five hour school day is spent in English. This surprised me because I would think that the Chinese people would appreciate it more since they are learning there language, along with English and Spanish. That sort of shocked me and I don't fully understand his reasoning. What else sort of surprised me was that bilingual students tend to score higher on standardized tests. This is because bilingual students use more brain capacity. Very interesting stuff.
