WHAT? Bilingual education (normal in most of the world) is seen as making better students... and there is plenty of evidence that children educated in two languages maintain intellectual capacity well into adulthood. There was an interesting study of elderly nuns a few years ago (nuns make ideal subjects for the study of aging... having a similar “lifestyle” and diet). Those who spoke two languages had much lower rates of alzheimers and other debilitating mental conditions as they aged.

That may be...if the languages are that of first-world countries...
