Fair enough. I am only really able to speak of my own Yorkshire community, but I am pretty active in it and our main problem is with parents not speaking English, not children. Children learn languages so damn fast, I have never, in all the years I have worked in and around migrant communities ( nor heard of in my mum's work with migrant, refugee and asyum-seeker communties) come across a child who is over the age of 3, been in the country more than six months and cannot speak at least rudimentary English.
