I found this article on the pros of bilingual education. I thought it was interesting to hear an article devoted on how bilingual education has benefits outside of our diverse atmosphere. This article focuses on the heathful benefits of bilingual education instead of focusing on the influx of Spanish-speaking peoples. I think this article can sway the opinions of many Americans who do not wish to speak any language other than English. I always hear this comment about foreign language speakers: "If they want to live here, why can't they just learn English?" Well, this article poses several reasons why we all would benefit from aquiring another language.
