18 Jun 2009MSNBC has an interesting piece on how increased immigration to formerly non-Latino areas of the country is affecting the educational landscape of public schools, and the contrast with areas of the country where English Only has succeeded in being instated and has subsequently failed students.
Have a look at the video and let us know what you think about this continuing debate. What’s best? Bilingual education? Immersion?

Mexico City’s legislative assembly (ALDF) is recommending a Cuban government teaching method to bring literacy to the hundreds of thousands of people in the Federal District who do not attend school.
…(ALDF) recommended to the central and regional governments (of DF) the establishment of a teaching method developed by the Cuban government, in which minimal resources are required and through which people learn to read and write in just 7 weeks.
One Mexico City lawmaker even projects that the illiteracy problem of one of the city’s largest regions, Iztapalapa — home to over 40,000 non-literate people — could be eliminated in one year using this method.
According to La Jornada, the program, called Yo sí puedo, consists of 65 “teleclasses” of 30 minutes each, and evolves in three phases over the course of 7 weeks.
