Why develop our own local and regional languages and national language (not based on Tagalog)... and minimize the teaching of the English subjects at grades 5 and 6 and throughout on high schools only as foreign language and as tools to understanding the other basic courses?... ....being an “English-speaking country” does not necessarily guarantee progress, development and prosperity for a country. As we all know, many of the “old” countries which became rich and industrialized are not English-speaking. Five of the G-8 countries — France, Russia, Germany, Japan and Italy are not English-speaking. The BRICS group of newly emerging industrialized countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, with the possible exception of India, are not English-speaking either. .... working in a call center teaching English is a ”dead end” job. It does not offer a career path where one can start at the bottom and work his or her way to the top. Many young people consider a call center job as a way - station to better things, if there are such opportunities. They usually leave after a year or two because job-related stress and the health risks are too high. The chances of their becoming business moguls or taipans are not likely.
