In one 2nd grade classroom at Bret Tarver Leadership Academy in Phoenix, students are learning phonics in English. MORE ⬇️
PHOENIX — Arizona’s top schools chief is looking to crack down on dual language programs in schools, saying some of them are operating illegally.The same students then switch classes halfway through the day and are learning in the opposite language they did the first half of the day. That’s what the dual language program is and more schools across the state are providing them.
However, Arizona Superintendent Tom Horne believes the dual language program is being done illegally in some cases. He says students, whose first language is not English, should not be taught in other languages. “I’m passionately in the favor of studying other languages once you’re proficient in English, but the first priority is to learn English. That’s important to survive in school and in life after school,” he said.
