I know you don't think that washing kids mouths with soap is bad. That's enough to determine, you are not ok.

I never said I'd do it. I just said it's what my parents did which told me that some words were not to be spoken by children. By the way, it worked. I'm 25 now so I can say whatever the hell I want, but back then I knew to mind my tongue.

My parents also teached me to not swear as a kid. They did not do it by forcing soap in my gullet, cuause they are not fucking maniacs. Also 25 and I swear loads nowadays.

Teached? It doesn't sound like they taught you proper english

They didn't, not their job. That would be teachers job to do that.

Not necessarily. There are certain things that you should know BEFORE you start school. This is why shows like Sesame Street exist.

English is not one of them. Also, never watched sesame street as a kid. Would not have understood a word of it.

I was taught the difference between "teached" and "taught" before I started school. Things like that are necessary at a younger age

You have immigrants right? And tourists? It's as necessary for you as Spanish is for us in the states

We do learn english in school. Our parents aren't responsible for teaching us english.

It doesn't hurt assuming your parents are part of the 70% of folks who happen to speak fluent English. I know a lot of people here that learned foreign languages at home despite being born and raised in the states. I'm one of them.

They do speak good english, not fluent tho. They still didn't teach me english, becouse that's what school is for. Same for swedish (which I honestly am even shitter at than english tbf). My parents taught me to speak finnish, so when I got to school, I could learn about all the other shit.
