Newspaper Article
Bilingual debate is back because students benefit
2006
Overview
The Daily Bulletin recently published a column by Peter Schrag, a columnist for the Sacramento Bee. I am not sure how many people were able to digest it, as Mr. Schrag deliberately wrote it in very sophisticated language. However, it was full of misrepresentations of the truth, and at best it was extremely misleading. Scores of research articles have been written and published that confirm the merits of bilingual education; meanwhile, since the passage of Proposition 227, a previously bilingual/literate student population has pitifully become barely monolingual. Mr. Schrag seems to know all of the acronyms to throw around in his column. But I bet he hasn't visited a flowering ELD class lately. He might be hard pressed to find a true bilingual classroom left in California, thanks to Proposition 227, but the teachers are still around - and we haven't given up. In the near future, many educators will travel to Sacramento to let the State Board of Education know that we demand increased funding for our EL students.
