(NAME-MCE) Bilingual Classes

[Santos, Sheryl]

DEPENDS! If it is a true bilingual program where they learn to read and write in both languages, then it's great for them.  If they just learn ESL in a transition program, and they are already fluent in English, it's probably a placement you need to look into. This message was sent from a mobile device.

Hi I am a second grade teacher in Hempstead, L.I. where it is heavily 
populated by Spanish immigrants.  In my school they put an emphasis on 
bilingual education when most of the students who occupy these classes were 
born here however, their parents 1st language is Spanish.  Do you think that 
by placing these students who are American in these bilingual classes is a 
diservice and doing more harm than good?
