A pro to a bilingual education program is that it can benefit the students in the long run because they can be used more in their work. They can begin to learn a new language at a young age an if they keep practicing it then can continue to expand their knowledge of the language and it can really benefit them. For me, Spanish has always been my first language  and I hope to continue to use both languages and maybe learnt another.

Being bilingual can be a he challenge when being in school, but once having the chance to be taught both your languages can and will be a huge pro in the future. Educators may find it challenging to figure out how to teach the non english learners but should still try and allow them to be introduced to the learning material.

A pro to bilingual education is meeting the students where they are. Allowing them to continue learning the material even if they do not know English. There are different ways for students to show their intelligence and having a bilingual learning environment can help this.

A pro to Dual Language Immersion 50:50 is that the students learn two languages at an extensive depth. The only downside is that there may not be  enough time in the class day for both languages.

Being bilingual not only challenges students to learn a second language but it provides the child with future opportunities. Being able to speak and understand two languages can create new opportunities for them in the modern workforce. For example, if you work as a CO and you pass the bilingual test you automatically earn more money in every paycheck than someone who doesn't have a bilingual background. However, its not just about the money but about the opportunities and how much you can provide to your job just for being bilingual and being able to reach out to more people.

A pro to bilingual education includes the opportunity to expand knowledge beyond the English language. It will expand children's knowledge and although it would be difficult at first the student will learn to adapt and learn in a stressing setting or time. It will also benefit them in the future and make them qualified candidates for future jobs.

There are lots of pros to bilingual education, one main one I think though is opening up culture to students. It can also be hard for some students, but every thing can get hard for students at some point and overcoming that can be good. I think there are definitely more pros then cons to bilingual education.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many pros to a bilingual education. One pro being that it opens up kids to more opportunities in the future for instance being more likely to be hired in the work force because they know more then one language, so now they are able to help twice as many people.

# data[].attributes.body
A pro to a bilingual education program is that it expands the culture in a school so kids can learn about other kids culture and upbringing as well as expose them to things they would not have seen otherwise. The con is that the bilingual education can be one sided and hard for some kids who only speak one language and they are required to speak a whole other language to be successful and are having a hard time with it.

There are many pros to bilingual education. Pros such as it keeps their mind active, helps students connect what they learned in the past with recent information, and it will help them in their future. During our time in the EDTE 4100 class, we learned that it helps students to connect the information they learned with the information they are currently learning. The students at Voorhies also expressed how that has helped them learn their new language.
I honestly do not see any cons to having students in bilingual education programs. There are some people that say it will hinder student's English learning growth, but many studies have proved that it helps them learn the language better. I am an advocate for students to learn a second language.

# data[].attributes.body
Bilingual programs, such as the Dual Immersion program at Voorhies, really helps students in the long run. I believe incorporating a student's native language and adding a second one is not only useful but empowering. A pro is that a student does not need lose any sense of their culture through the language they speak if both languages are being paid attention to. A con would be that the mastery of both languages requires more time. Students might not be as proficient in one particular language if their time is spent cut in half for another language.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I believe that the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to bilingual education. A pro of bilingual education is that students are able to learn two languages at the same, which increases their opportunity of being successful in the future. Bilingual education also helps students better understand another culture, that helps them appreciate their culture and others. A con about bilingual education is that the program could be expensive and not accessible to the population. It can also be difficult to find teachers and even subs that are qualified for the program.

Pros of Bilingual Education are that students at a young age learn a new and second language easier, and it increases their communication skills. They are able to learn subjects in both languages, so it allows for students to learn things more efficiently. For example, if students aren't able to grasp a Reading concept in English, they might be able to understand it in Spanish or vice versa. Cons of bilingual education are that it can be inconsistent if students aren't practicing second language everyday, which leads to students losing their capabilities and skills to learn a second language.

Pro: Students can learn a new language which can later broaden their academic interests as they get older. A second language can help students access more academic and professional opportunities.
Con: Everyone has a different way of learning and such programs would require on going practice and professional training until they become fluent. In other words, it can become expensive and not as accessible to a larger population.

Bilingual education benifits students in many ways. Mainly, it gives the students the confidence they need to succeed. When we, as teachers, give our students the tools they need, their confidence goes through the roof. This confidence boost makes them want to learn and succeed more. Bilingual education makes learning more enticing to the students, making them come back for more.

Bilingual education is beneficial to students in many ways. One powerful benefit is that dual language programs empower students. When we, as an education system, honor and respect the cultures and languages of our students we are really stating that we value these aspects of them. Students pick up on these responses to them, and can end up feeling a sense of pride about who they are and where they come from.
