Vote NO on 2 (Massachusetts) this November 5th
Reasons you should vote NO on 2 this November :
If 2 passes, it would :
- allow teachers to be sued, simply for teaching in a child's home language (without third party (insurance) protection - teachers would need to pay out of pocket) and teachers could lose their jobs for five years.
- eliminate parent and community choice, mandating one mode of instruction by law for most second language children.
- eliminate proven teaching methods that work well (bilingual education - which teaches English), replacing them with one method that has been proven to be less successful (English immersion).
- mandate a one year program for most children, it is almost impossible to learn academic English in one year.
(Research shows it take a minimum of three.)
- 2 is primarily funded by out of state money, out of staters telling us how to teach our children. It doesn't work in California, we don't want it here.
And the legislature has already passed a reform bill allowing community choice. For more information, contact : [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://members.aol.com/neilesl
