This book offers a thorough review of the English for the Children movement, led by Silicon entrepreneur Ron Unz from February 1996 to November 2002.

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 J. Haver is the author of the books Structured English Immersion and English for the children. Presently, she holds the office of Maricopa County Community College District Board Secretary.
