[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welp there goes our bilingual schools[/quote] I don't think you understand. You seem to be referring to two way Spanish immersion programs that teach both English dominant and Spanish dominant students in the same room. Bilingual classrooms teach one group of kids, typically Spanish speaking, but sometimes Urdu or Polish, etc. They learn how to read and write in their first language and then increasingly learn English as the years go on, usually with increasing amounts of time spent on instruction in English. The US has laws that state that if there are more than 19 students in a grade level who speak one particular language, schools must provide "bilingual education" as I described above. If schools can't get bilingual teachers to teach those rooms, they'll have subs all year. It won't be good.[/quote] NP and I assume those laws you speak of will be ignore or overturned by conservative judges in no time.[/quote]
