Bilingual education needs to GO. It may just get shopped this coming year. We have kids in this state who have been in bilingual education for 6-7 years and still can’t function in English. That would be because bilingual teachers (from Mexico) can speak Spanish but not English.

The Bi=lingual teachers I've known (2 or 3) who learned English when they started school in first grade, HATE bilingual ed.

Every one I've ever talked to said if they had had bilingual ed when they started school, they would "still be in the valley speaking Spanish."

They are made to teach it and most get paid more. Some districts paid a finders fee to find bilinual teachers when they were scarce..
