This book focuses on how to best educate Hispanic English-limited students who tend to be the ethnic group most likely to be taught in their native language and, consequently, to do poorly when compared to all immigrant children limited in English. It provides evidence that the Hispanic students have made impressive gains where states passed anti-bilingual education laws. It compares that success to the students’ failure in New York and Colorado where bilingual education still prevails.

Johanna Haver's book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in understanding the politics of the bilingual-education wars in the U.S. over the last several decades. Haver lays out the results of the different policies pursued in states: the abysmally low reclassification rates to English fluency in states and school districts that have stuck to bilingual education versus the improved rates in jurisdictions that adopted structured-English-immersion models. A must-read.
