(31:14) Once students can speak English, they are ready to learn and succeed in a mainstream classroom.
(36:52) It is a sign of a child being lazy if they mix two languages together instead of just using them one at a time.
(41:21) Bilingual children will perfectly use and have equal knowledge of both languages.
