The
Benefits of Teaching in Two Languages
by VALERIA PELET, The Atlantic | 06/02
From New York to Utah, U.S. schools have seen a steady rise in bilingual education. Dual-language immersion programs first appeared in the U.S. in the 1960s to serve Spanish-speaking students in Florida. Since then, the demand—and

by Elizabeth Zavala, San Antonio Express-News | 05/31
On April 29, sheriff’s deputies rescued a sister and her brother, ages 3 and 4, who allegedly had been abused for at least two weeks and for days had been tied up with dog chains and left outside. “When (abuse) has been this extreme,
it’s a long process to rehabilitate the kids and undo damage,” said Hope Bell, a professor in the department of counseling at the University of Texas at San Antonio and an expert in child trauma and mental health.
