I'am a student at C.E.T. I went out and asked some people obout their opinion. About bilingual education programs my mother's opinion was that she would like that program to be going, because is a good benefit to the people .that want to learn spanish and English. My brother's opinion was diffrent. He said that it was better to have olny one program, and that program should be English. If the bilingual programs continue the people never are going learn the English they need.

The opinion of my brother's teachers is to take away the bilingual program because that program is not very important to learn. It is more important to learn English to get a good job in the future.

In my opinion is a good idea to take away that program. Since I was in for 8 years. I took bilingual classes maybe if I hadn't taken bilingual classes I would now know English better. When I was in 7 grade it was the same thing I had more spanish than English. that is that program did't exist I know I woud now speak better English.

Sicerely,
