My second argument is that bilingualism's diversity offers solutions for the variety of immigrant groups affected by English instruction. Programs like Dual-Language allow students of mixed backgrounds to learn the languages and cultures of the others. Such solutions can work for certain areas, and bilingualism provides the platform to develop many more.
Some parents wish to have their children taught both their native language and English. Some only want their children fluent in English. Bilingual education offers solutions for both areas, using the base of native language to facilitate learning.
There have been several theories developed and researched on the need for a base language in order to learn English. All of those I have discovered support bilingualism as the best tool to educate English-Learners. Each one has a different specific idea on how base, or native, languages should best be used, and they find root in varieties of bilingualism. Because every immigrant group has different influences acting upon it, it is crucial that they each be given a wide variety of teaching options, like only bilingualism can offer.
With all of these options, including English Immersion, available, school systems can choose the educational policy that is best for their students.

A very solid and an overall effective argument. I think that the point you make is very intriguing and interesting. You are effective in getting your point across by supporting your claims with various ideas and sources, such as the Dual-Language program, and the fact that different parents wish different things for their childrens' education. You seem to have plenty of information for each of your subtopics to come up with thorough and convincing arguments.
