Well, sure. I agree with that... but that has more to do with the school system, teachers, parents reading at home/with the kids, etc etc. If we could sort that *minor* stuff out (haha) and get ourselves seriously organized, then adding another language would not be a problem for the kids themselves. It would in fact behoove them in every way that I can imagine.
It's not like our brains can't handle learning more than one language at the same time. The human brain (especially kids' brains) are capable of so much more than we give them credit for... America is truly one of the only nations of its standing that does not educate its children in another language. We have everything to gain from such a move.
