Abstract
Krashen (1996) and Rossell and Baker (1996) have reviewed literature on attitudes toward bilingual education and have come to very different conclusions. This study reviews surveys included in Rossell and Baker as well as studies missed by both surveys and concludes that polls in which there is opposition to bilingual education typically present an extreme view of bilingual education that few of its supporters would endorse, with all subjects taught in the primary language and nothing in the second language. When subjects are asked about using both languages or are asked about bilingual education in general, responses are much more positive.
