Can't even use the immigration excuse because math is the same everywhere.
I went to a bilingual high school where we had to learn Italian in one year, enough to take 4 years of history, maths, physics and geography in it.
If I could do that between age 14 and 19 without knowing a single word of Italian before, while NOT living in Italy, then any mentally all there immigrant child in the US could learn English and do reasonably well. I'm not a fucking genius by any stretch of the imagination. Hell, I didn't even like Italian. I don't give a shit about it, their culture or media or anything.
Their food is nice and there is one singer I like. That's pretty much it. Also, the old Bud Spencer movies are hilarious lol.
Two types of people fail those kids: shitty parents who only enter the US to leech resources and money, and shitty leftist teachers who believe it's wrong to make non-white children successful because they believe minorities don't deserve it.
English is the single most approachable language ever made.
Only thing I'll disagree with is English being approachable. It's the descendent of a pidgin of Gaelic, low German, and French. Its grammatical structure is abominable. Romance languages are much more approachable, and Japanese would be if it weren't for their use of Kanji.
The advantage English has is that it's spoken everywhere. I'm glad it is, too, because it's the language of liberty, but that doesn't stop it being an eldritch horror.
Math is, but people aren't.
