In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”

　　Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO,no,it can’t be. What a helpless,lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet,sweet little boy,instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.

　　My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me,and thus,Scola was disrupting the class,Did’t he know my son did not speak English yet?

　　He was angry; “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”

　　No,I didn’t speak English at home,I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months,and I didn't want him to forget his native language.Well,wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”

　　Needless to say,I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over,and I left.

　　As I had expected,my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job,earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。
