Bilingual Education came about as a result of a state law that was enacted after legislators were convinced that the high drop-out rate among Mexican-American student was related to the child’s inablity to cope with the irrevelant, anglo oriented teaching methods. Educators concluded that culture and educational environment relate to the the ability of a child to develop securely and happily.

In Uvalde local school officials, including school Superintendent R. E. Byrom and board members Emmett Harris were in Austin when the Bilingual Education bill was before the Texas Legislature hoping to put an ammendment on the law so that Uvalde could be excluded from having to implement bilingual education. The Uvalde school officials saw bilingual	education
then solely as a “politically	-related”
demand since it had been one of the issues of the school walkout here in 1970. With this as a beginning it is easily believalble that in Uvalde Bilingual Education is not a favorite subject of local educators and our Mexican-American children are being affected by it.
After the federal funds weree reduced due to non-compliance with federal guidelines, the school district lost a lot of the funding and the program is now greatly reduced.
La Educación Bilingüe llego a nacer en Texas como resultado de una ley estatal que fue enactada cuando los legisladores fueron convencidos que el gran numero de alumnos Mexico-America-nos que se salen de la escuela antes de graduar de high shool esta directamente relacionado con su inabi-lidad de funcionar en el systema educativo que es orientado solamente a los anglos. Los educadores con-clueron que la cultura y el ambiente educacional afectan la abi-lidad del nino de desarrollarse seguro de si mismo y felizmente.

Pagaba salarios altos a la Directora, Supervisores Examinadores, Técnicos de Cinta Video, ets. Trajo equipo y material que eventualmente se usa en otras clases que no pertenecen al programa. Proporciona dinero para viajes a los estados de Oregon y Washington (y ottos estados) para los administradores y maestros y padres. Es un programa costoso. En el principio pagaba atención medica

From (when grades gated) American children in
grades one to third HAD TO BE in Follow Through. Parents had no choice. Those living in the Dalton and Benson sones received traditional teaching. After 1976 parents have been given four choices to place their children in the elementary grades: traditional, tradicional bilingual Follow Through, and Follow Through Bilingual. From grades one to three, then, the children in Uvalde develop in four different pattern and very surely, four different levels.
The teaching techniques of bothe the Follow Through and the Bilingual Program in Uvalde will be discussed in our next issue. To provide more accurate information, professional educators will be interviewed. We welcome comments.
