I fail to see how your outdated situation applies to today.

Again, I love hearing how everyone is an expert on education simply b/c everyone on these boards has attended school.


Because having a majority of children in the class not speak English is not a brand-new thing that the US has only encountered in the last 10-15 years.

This is not a question of being an expert on education. This is a question of having some knowledge of US history.

And obviously you're an educator who teaches in one of the schools impacted by high FARMs and language barriers, right?

b/c you appear to know it all as you see "no difference" btw the two groups
