From a "Voices from the Field" segment (pp. 11-12) by Rosa Molina
"The primary goal in two-way programs is to narrow the gap between language minority and language majority students, not by slowing down the program so that English language learners can catch up, but by raising the achievement patterns of the students, thus providing an academically and linguistically rigorous program for all students. No language group is expendable in this program! The administration, teaching staff, and parents must share a commitment to the vision of equity and academic success for all of the children in their program. Without a watchful approach to the quality of their two-way programs, schools will find themselves tragically exploiting the language minority group they had hoped to help for the benefit of the language majority students" (pp. 11-12).
