On the subject of bi/tri/quardra-lingualisim I have to agree with her to a point. I do think that second-language teaching should start in kindergarten instead of grade four (or worse, in some districts they start at grade six).

But Arabic? That’s a bit of a difficult language to start out with I think, especially if your mother tongue is English. Romance languages in primary school, advanced foreign linguistics in high school. I’d agree with that.
