Do you think its right for non-english speaking students to come over to america and get special treatment ,and special classes becuase they do not know english? If you was to move to mexico ,and go to school you would not get any special treatment. In america they have a program called bilingual education. It is the practice of teaching non-english speaking students core subjects in their native tounge. Im against this ,because it is shown bilingual education does not work. Aslo becuase it is a form of segergation ,and its not preparing them for their future in america.
Bilingual education is some what a form a segergation. Your takin the hispanic students out of class and puttin them in a class that is full of all hispanic kids. I do not believe that it is right for hispanic students to get their own class. American students have to take a spanish class eith everyone else ,so why is it right for them to get a class of their own. If they do not understand what is being taught then they should be held back ,but they shouldnt get a class that teaches in their native tounge diffentely when its takin them out of another class ,and away from all the other students.
Also bilingual education is not preparing hispanic students for their future in america. What happens when they graduate? Their use to everything being taught in their native tounge ,and they have no interacting skills of the english launage. Would if their going to be train to work at some job ,do you think the company is going to go out of their way to teach hispanic how to do the job in their own tounge. There are many jobs that look at if you can speak spanish ,but they also make sure you can speak english.
After 30 years of experience and the expenditure of tens of billions of dollars ,research shows that bilingual education does not teach students the english language and literacy they need for school success. Bilingual education may sound good ,and may look good in the point of view in some people eyes ,but it has proven to be ineffective.
Bilingual education often results in social isolation ,and high drop-out rates. It is proven to be ineffective ,causes segeration ,and does not prepare hispanic students the material they need for their future in american. All it is doing is simply giving them the material they need to get through school and graduate. So after graduation what are they suppose to do? No one will be there to teach the material in their own tounge or make it easier on them. They will be on their own ,and since they never been taught to learn for themselves or in different laungage ,what are they suppose to do?

Alot of schools are trying to inforce a rule that bans ipod use during school hours. The reason for this action is due to kids supposly using ipods to cheat. Baseball caps and cell phones have already been baned due to kids using these devices to cheat. So now their sayin that kids are using ipods to cheat. Their hopping that banning ipod use during school hours will reduce the number of students that are cheating.

I do not agree with schools banning ipod use during school hours. Kids can think of all kinds of new and creative ways to cheat. So if you ban ipods ,the kids that are cheating will think of a new way to get the answers. So really all this rule is effecting is the students that use ipods during class to block out all the destractions that are going on around them. Students can use ipods as a tool of relaxtion ,or to help focus on a reading assigment ,or even to help them focus on a homework assignment. So why punish the kids who are using ipods for good reasons ,for the mistakes of the students who are making wrong decesions to use ipods for cheating. When all thats going to happen is the students using ipods to cheat ,their going to find other ways to cheat. So i honestly believe that it will not reduce the number of students cheating. Also using ipod help kids with learing a world that has to due with technology. Almost every job thats out there today involves some kind of technology. So shouldnt we learn ,how to use technology in every day life.
