Not only that, but truly bilingual students surpass their contemporaries on tests after about 7 years. It takes longer for bilingual students to master everything, but when they do eventually achieve mastery they perform very well indeed. The worst performing students tend to be those students who were fluent in one language, and then that language was completely cut off and they were forced to learn another language. Studies show these students are are worst performers, and they never catch up. We have schools in our area that are truly bilingual- where English only students are learning Spanish and Spanish only students are learning English, and where the students by the end of elementary school achieve proficiency in both languages. That is, imo, the ideal.
