Bilingualism and Parenting

When I read King and Fogle's article, the positive view of bilingualism came as a surprise to me. I was immediately interested in the article's publication date of 2010.  When reading most articles, it seems that the general public is against bilingualism, but with this article, there seemed to be a rising consensus on the benefits of bilingualism.  It seemed that by discussing all the various popular literature and expert advice, bilingualism has become a lot more popular.  This could also be seen in the end of the article, calling for more development in the public education sector of bilingualism.  To me, this article helped illuminate the rising acceptance and importance of bilingualism in America.

    With a growing appreciation for bilingualism, King and Fogle's ideas in their article could be reached.  With rising importance of bilingualism, discourse would grow both publicly and privately, improving the methods of bilingual parents and teachers alike.
