Teaching Multilingual Children by Collier

This articles was interesting to read because i like how bilingual children re being able to speak their language in class. Its a very good idea to have time to let the children speak their language during the day and not getting in trouble if they accidental speak their language not during the scheduled time. Being bilingual is a talent because it makes you more diverse which is a good thing. i feel like being patient with the students is a good thing because if they are older its harder to learn a language. if i try to learn Spanish now, most likely i wouldn't be able to do it. The bilingual children need to get more time in the class room, and they need more time to get things explained to them. It takes time, they need to learn the codes of power because that's the only way to get through this world at this time. The codes of power do control a lot in this world and Delpit would say something about that. To fully fulfill your potentials, the codes of power will get you there and without them you wont. I liked the article, because i believe it is very important to allow the children to speak their own language.
