Bilingual Education

The subject of bilingual education is a hard one to tackle, because it is feasible and admirable in so many ways, but is not flawless.

After discussion I went home and thought more about where a total bilingual education (classes in both languages) could be implemented, and the only places where I thought it might be feasible would be magnet schools (which teachers are attracted to because of special attention within a subject and good programs), private schools that have more funding and flexibility within their curricula, and perhaps some wealthy districts. However, none of these schools would actually necessarily target the Latino community, and it is their language handicaps that the system should try and correct. However, I do realize that my vision of the workings of the school system are limited, so perhaps my dreams for successful implementation are as well. I think bilingualism is a merit, and it would be wonderful to see more achieve it.
