MA Gov. Firm on English Immersion
From the January 24th Boston Globe:
The Globe reported yesterday that superintendents from 19 of Massachusetts' largest school systems wrote to Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey asking that the administration support legislation to phase in English immersion over a three-year period. But yesterday, Romney press secretary Shawn Feddeman said the governor will fight all attempts to slow the implementation of English immersion, known on the ballot as Question 2. . . .
The 19 superintendents are part of the 22-member Urban Superintendents' Network, representing the Commonwealth's largest school systems. They prefer phasing in immersion, saying possible cuts in education funding will make it more difficult to train teachers.
How much "training" does it take for a schoolteacher to address a class in English?
