Monolingual Schools for All (Final)

Imagine this. You're a Mexican immigrant who just arrived in America. Before you attend school with American students, you must learn English. You go to a school for immigrants expecting to still hear some Spanish, but instead, your teacher speaks only English. You fail to grasp almost everything. However, after a few weeks, you get some understanding of this strange new language. Many people believe that schools should be bilingual, but others think that schools for immigrants should remain monolingual. Schools should be monolingual! Monolingual schools are more effective than bilingual schools, because monolingual schools help students learn a new language faster and save money.
First of all, monolingual schools can help a student learn a new language better than a bilingual school. By speaking a strange new language, you can push children out of their native language and help them learn a new language faster. While a student won't be able to understand anything you're saying, he will grasp the language sooner or later, and will learn better than a student who has a teacher who speaks his native language.
I have had experience with this. In 3rd grade, my Spanish teacher was out for a month, and she was replaced by a substitute teacher who spoke all Spanish. Though it was torture for the whole class, I actually managed to learn a lot of Spanish in the month she taught. Right now, there is a student who just came from Japan in some of my classes. All his teachers speak to him in English in hopes of his being able to learn and repeat what they say. The attempt was successful. Speaking in only a new language in school can really benefit an immigrant student.
Monolingual schools also save money. If we want bilingual teachers, we must pay an abundance of excess money. Eliminating bilingual teachers allows schools to save money. Many school districts, such as the Bernards school district, greatly need money for more important things. Because of the beginning of our economic crisis, many districts have very tight budgets. A district should not waste their money on bilingual teachers. They should devote their money to something more useful, like better technology for teachers and students, more books for the media center and classrooms, or a longer school year. Removing bilingual teachers or transferring them to monolingual teachers is a perfect way to save money.
Although a bilingual school can be great as it allows a student to hear their native language and relieves stress in learning, a monolingual school is better. It helps students learn a new language better and saves money.
A monolingual school is what everyone needs!
