[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

I don't think James was saying that the kids shouldn't learn english. One quick
look at any non-english-native ghetto can show the chances of getting out of
any socio-economic trap without learning the national language.

I think his point was that the *testing* should be done in the testee's native
language.

They do it for spanish-speaking, they should do it for signers.
