face="Times New Roman">Dr. Stephen Krashen offers a critical review of a
recent study by Guzman on the effectiveness of bilingual education. Guzman,
whose study is based on the High School & Beyond dataset, concluded that
being bilingual was advantageous, but participation in bilingual education
was not. Guzman's report has received wide press coverage, however, Krashen
found many problems with his analysis: "It is important to get longitudinal
data on the long term effects of educational practices. Unfortunately, the
data set Guzman used does not permit any valid inferences to be drawn
concerning the value of bilingual education."</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
