From the landing at Plymouth Rock to today, educators and community members have debated over the best way that government should fulfill its responsibility to educate citizens. Underlying these debates are three central questions: What is the purpose of a public education? Who is to receive the educational

services provided by the public? And, how does government ensure the quality of these educational services? In various forms, these questions lay beneath all educational changes and reform measures in American history.

Today, school choice, bilingual education, and testing are the hot issues being debated in communities, government chambers, and newspaper op-ed pages. These reform initiatives have lofty goals of increasing access, raising standards of quality, spawning innovation, and empowering students. But as promising as each of these initiatives may be, each produces unintended consequences, thus increasing the complexity of the debate.

Our goal in this material is not to encourage debate but to start deliberation. Contemporary issues cannot be reasonably discussed outside the context of history. To understand where we want to go, we need to first understand how we have come to this point. What follows is an exploration of these issues and their antecedents in history. These topics and timelines are intended to inform community members about the legacy of these vital issues in education today.



Speaking of Learning: Bilingual Education

The Issue
There is a perennial tension between those who view America as a great melting pot with a common national identity and those who view it as a mosaic of peoples with their own customs and culture. American public schools have been host to this tension and its manifestations in education policy.


The Debate
Supporters of bilingual education believe that the school should build upon, rather than dismantle, the minority child’s language and culture. By teaching children academic subjects in their native tongue, while simultaneously offering them English language instruction, students can learn the language and continue to progress academically. Once they have mastered enough English, they can transition to mainstream classes.

Critics of bilingual education, however, argue that it inhibits a child’s ability to acquire English quickly. They believe that in order to succeed in America, children need to master the language and values of the dominant culture. Critics often rely on the “sink or swim” method of language acquisition, saying it will help foreign students to best pick up the language.
