[!@#$%!]

reading, writing, grammar, content knowledge, it's all deliverd in the OTHER language that's not your vernacular; at the same time you don't learn any science math or say geography (?) in your own vernacular. the problem with this is that it interferes w/ your whole cognitive development and schooling as your brain tries to straddle both language systems. if you are offered some curriculum in your own vernacular & then "proper english" gets introduced, it's much easier to adapt-- that's what the research shows.
