Bilingual Education and Academic Success
As an advocate, what can I do to help our non English speaking children?
Bilingual education is the practice of teaching non-English-speaking children in their native language, while they are learning English. Developed in the 1970's, the basic idea was to teach the school subjects--math, science, social studies—in the child’s first language so the child would not fall behind his English-speaking classmates. English language lessons were also provided. Bilingual children were schooled apart from English speakers for most of the school day for several years, a substantially separate and costly education.
Seperate but equal ?
Can we answer the following questions?
