Parents Choose Dual Language Programs in Colorado: A Survey.
Shannon, Sheila M.
Bilingual Research Journal, v26 n3 p681-96 Fall 2002
A study examined parental support for bilingual education in the face of political debate. Surveys of 1,043 parents of children attending 10 dual-language programs in Colorado found that parents understood the purpose of these programs, freely chose the programs, and believed they were effective. Spanish-speaking parents responded more positively than English-speaking parents. (Contains 23 references.) (TD)
