English language
English is a West Germanic language originating in England, and the first language for most people
in Australia, Canada, the Commonwealth Caribbean, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom
and the United States of America (also commonly known as the Anglosphere). It is used extensively
as a second language and as an official language throughout the world, especially in
Commonwealth countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South Africa, and in many
international organizations.
Modern English is sometimes described as the global lingua franca. English is the dominant
international language in communications, science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and
diplomacy. The influence of the British Empire is the primary reason for the initial spread of the
language far beyond the British Isles. Following World War II, the growing economic and cultural
influence of the United States has significantly accelerated the spread of the language. On an
average school day approximately one billion people are learning English in one form or another.
A working knowledge of English is required in certain fields, professions, and occupations. As a
result over a billion people speak English at least at a basic level. English is one of six official
languages of the United Nations.

Parents……. and teachers too!
All children in the United States have to receive an education, but the law doesn’t say they
have to be educated in a school. A growing number of parents prefer not to send their
children to school. Children who are educated at home are known as “homeschoolers”. It is
estimated that there are now between 1.5 and 1.9 million homeschoolers in the United
States, about 4 percent of school-age children.
Some parents prefer to teach their children at home because they do not believe that
schools teach the correct religious values. Others believe they can provide a better
education for their children at home. There are now many Web sites about homeschooling,
and many parents who teach their children at home use the Internet to exchange ideas and
resources. Interestingly, results show that homeschooled children often do better than
average on national test in reading and math.
