Synopsis
Here is a timely and important book for anyone concerned about the future of bilingual education in America., Here is a timely and important book for anyone concerned about the future of bilingual education in America. Written by Stephen Krashen, the nation's foremost expert on second language acquisition, it disproves many of the false assumptions and outright distortions that led to the passage of Proposition 227 in California. Now, as some of those same arguments proliferate in other states, Krashen explains the bases for five of these key beliefs, and proves-step-by-step-why they are wrong: Bilingual education is responsible for the high Hispanic dropout rate. In fact, studies show reduced and even no difference in dropout rates when background factors are controlled. Most immigrants succeeded without bilingual education. Krashen argues that many immigrants arrived here having had a de facto bilingual education in their countries of origin; and that until the last half of this century, economic success was not so strongly dependent on school success. The United States is the only nation that has bilingual education. There is ample evidence of bilingual programs not only existing, but also succeeding in countries like Norway and the Netherlands. Bilingual education failed in California. The author explores flaws in the methods of various studies and counters with other reasons why bilingual education students may not thriveNincluding widespread poverty and lack of reading materials. The public is against bilingual education. This argument, propagated by the media, proves false when one examines the biased language used in survey after survey. In its careful delineation of the real issues, Condemned Without a Trial gives educators, administrators, parents, and voters the essential understanding-and evidence-they have heretofore been denied.

- a***j (725)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI put 5 stars for communications however I would like to note we didn’t talk at all. I didn’t reach out because I didn’t have any questions or concerns. Book is in great condition however only one concern. There used to be a sticker in the front cover which was removed and left a sticker, circular residue behind. While holding the book to read, my hand naturally touches the residue and leaves my hand feeling sticky/dirty. Overall, book is good condition. Good price for what I paid for.
