reaction on the issue of having the first language as a primary langauge for grade schoolers

the issue of having the first language as a primary language for grade schoolers is quite interesting for me.

having the first language to be the primary language in school will be quite a difficult transformation in our education system. all school materials are printed in the english language. but as to the effects, i think it will be to our advantage. they can now write using the first language which in my part is very hard because i really cant express my thoughts in my first language. in speaking i prefer to use my first language because i am very comfortable on it but when it comes to writing, there is no other language i would prefer to use other than english. speaking is not so different with writing, unless that writing is a written statement. its just you write what you have spoken.

when it comes to subjects to be taught in the first language, it will be so interesting. in my 16 years of existence, i dont even know the cebuano term for "multiply" even if i encountered this word early in my life. its a good thing to teach this lessons in the first language. it makes me wanna go back to elementary because i want to know the cebuano word for certain words/topics. watching classes to be held in the first language will be fun.
