[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure the schools will be somewhat relieved - smaller class sizes and more attention to students who are not struggling.[/quote]

Agree in part, though why do you assume all these kids struggle? Kids brought over illegal - sure they're ESL and who knows what primary education they had in their villages. But US citizen kids? They grow up learning English - even if thru TV in a Spanish speaking home; and they go to American school from the start so there's no reason for them to be behind; and while it may be shocking, first gen immigrants are hard on their kids re grades, even illegal ones who don't understand what their kids are studying still demand their kids get As and Bs bc they don't want their kids to be dishwashers and janitors.[/quote]

My child goes to a high poverty school with high immigrant population- and I don't mean Asian, I mean Hispanic kids from families that hardly have any education and don't speak English. They may be even legal- but the third of their class is in special services due to not doing well in school, many kids are behind, some still have very limited English, etc etc. 
just a week ago a new girl came with no English.
It's an uphill battle to teach those kids. [/quote]

Ugh, DD starts school in one of these districts in another year.  Not thrilled.  ICE can't move fast enough.  No hate in my heart for Immigrants.  But if you are illegal you need to go.[/quote]

On the other hand it's not that bad. the teacher this year is great. there is a small group of educated, involved parents in our class and it does make a difference. But without the struggling kids it would be even easier of course. I mean, it is one thing when there are struggling citizen kids, another when they or their parents are not here legally. [/quote]
