It can bother you till the cows come home that "those" kids are in that school but they will still be attending that school.

I am thrilled that children are in any school. Hopefully they are learning English.[/quote]

I am sure they are learning English and hopefully, [b]Spanish will be taught[/b] as a second langauge.  8)[/quote]

I think that would be great! But first, let's get all the kids out of trailers, and make the class sizes lower than 30 kids in a classroom, and adjust the lunch schedules so kids are not having lunch at 10:15 am when they start school at 9 am. [u]Take care of all those things first[/u][b] and then think about teaching Spanish.[/quote]

I agree. But the argument being made by Mr./Mrs. Swoooooooooooosh was that because the children were Hispanic they,by definition, did not speak English and should not be taught a foriegn language. But, yes, there are other priorities in a cash strapped district.[/quote]
