Should Bilingual Education be revised?

We live in a country where immigrants are prevalent and they have come here from all over the world, it makes sense that our government would want to accommodate them and their needs particularly when dealing with their offspring. Bilingual education was created with their needs in mind to help immigrant children to be able to learn and understand English a lot faster.

Many people disagree as to how the program should function and many feel that it's not much help at all. As with most issues, there are two sides to every story and this one is no exception, on one side there are people who praise bilingual education as being essential in helping children of immigrants to become fluent in English while on the other side there are those that consider bilingual education a dismal failure and deem it unnecessary. If bilingual education is a failure in accomplishing its intended purpose (which was to help immigrant children learn English by teaching them in their native language) then does the program need to be revised in order to benefit the children it was designed to help?
