    Dual Language Immersion Programs Bypass Prop. 227 (3/29/2004)

    These programs are not only popular in the San Francisco area; they're becoming common in many school districts throughout the state. The research showing that "non-English speaking children in immersion programs do as well - if not better - than students in English-only programs over the long term" isn't new either. Back in 1998 that information was well known among ESL teachers, but the English Only folks had more financial backing, hence prop. 227 passed.

    Back to top.
