On the border of Mexico, the student population of Dallas Schools
is about 43% Hispanic. The current climate of tensions over border control and
bilingual education is no stranger to teachers,

administrators, and families of the Dallas Schools. Who to educate in a new
language, and how to teach them is a topic that has caused Dallas Schools a lot
of conflict over the years.
In 2005 many residents of Dallas Schools were
infuriated when the school board passed a bill that required some school
principals to gain fluency in Spanish or lose their jobs,

problems were rampant because English speaking principals and Spanish speaking
parents couldn’t communicate.
A furor
arose among proponents of English immersion who felt that it was the Hispanic
parents who had the responsibility to learn a new language. Most principals
learned the language or were relocated.
The decision about how to
educate non-English speaking children in Dallas schools is under the same
scrutiny. Bilingual education was once viewed as the best option, and a good way
to ease Hispanic speakers into the Dallas Schools culture. But a lot of evidence
over the past few years points to immersion as a better way to teach children a
new language.
Educators in Dallas Schools are aware that the best window
for teaching a person a new language skill is before they are 7 years of age,

Unfortunately, Dallas Schools don’t have control over how old children are when
they appear in the system. Foreign language education faces the same scrutiny,
as most Dallas Schools don’t offer any foreign language courses until the upper
grades,

Some
parents and educators in the Dallas Schools area have put out a call for earlier
foreign language exposure for elementary school age children. But the current
climate over immigration and forced language learning does little to help that
cause. There are some innovative schools around the country that do offer
complete immersion classes in a foreign language. John E. Ford Elementary School
is a public school magnet in Jacksonville, FL that offers a complete Spanish
immersion program from pre-k to 8th grade. However, many residents of Dallas
schools are reluctant to make it easier for Spanish speaking residents to get by
without English.
Are the English speaking students of Dallas Schools
missing out because of the firm beliefs of some adults? Or would making Spanish
more commonly used be detrimental to the Dallas Schools system,
