Bilingual Education: Con

A negative aspect of bilingual education is that the primary focus would no longer be English, but it would be a combination of languages. If bilingual education became too prominent, English would not be as widely used, and hence its power and influence could decrease. This would result in deficiency of the mastery of the English language, and this would prove detrimental, since currently English is one of the (if the not the single most prominent) primary languages in the world. Thus, bilingual education would decrease the emphasis on English, and this would lead to a depreciation of the language.
