Overdue

Mexico has a new pilot program for elementary school English school, targeting 5,000 schools around the country. This is a good start, but it doesn't make up for the fact that the overwhelming majority of Mexican students don't start studying English until seventh grade and never become proficient. China, on the other hand, has more students studying English than the US does and, despite being half a world way, starts its kids out on the basics in third grade.
