In my informed opinion, California should allow bilingual education for the future generations. With high paying careers, you must have a higher education. Education is extremely important in life; it should be on the top of people’s to-do list. Bilingual education will allow non-English speaking students to learn in their native language as well as allow English speakers learn a second language. Bilingual students will learn and develop skills that will aid them become more flourishing in life. In a quote from NABE.org, the National Association for Bilingual Education, it states many bilingual students can become more valuable to our economy, “Studies have consistently shown that developing ELLs’ native-language skills leads to higher levels of academic achievement, as well as proficient bilingualism and biliteracy – increasingly valuable skills in today’s global economy. “ (NABE.org). As Arturo Madrid questions, “Given the changing profile of America, will we come to terms with diversity in our personal and professional lives?”(Arturo Madrid, Diversity and its Discontents), will our nation accept the diversity we have in language and work with it? Or will California shut out peoples’ lives by not allowing them to be taught in their most efficient method. Many will argue that because they moved here, they should learn our language and we shouldn’t have to cater to their needs. By helping the future generations we are helping our economy, I think we also need to consider that these are people’s life’s that we’re dealing with, they are humans and should deserve the opportunity to be educated in their own language.
