Latino attitudes toward English  

Definition

  • The U.S. Bureau of the Census reported that, in the last official census, the number of persons who speak Spanish at home rose from 10.2 million in 1980 to 24.7 million in 2000. This growth has sparked concerns among some critics of bilingual education who fear that Spanish has become pervasive and that some proportion of Latino students will not learn English if they are permitted to participate in bilingual education for a protracted time.
