[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL that people think trump is going to wave a magic want and deport 10 million people at once.

OP, I teach English Learners. Some of them are definitely undocumented but most are not. And since it probably matters to you, of those that were born outside the US, only about half of them are Spanish-speaking. If Trump had his way, my job would be cut (my salary comes from federal funds) and gen ed teachers would have to figure out how to teach a bunch of students who don't speak English.

So no, deportations would not make teachers' lives easier. They'd make it way harder. [/quote]

PP here and just to make this clear: the general ed teachers would have to figure out how to teach a bunch of students who don't speak English *in addition* to the students they teach now. General ed teachers are more than capable of doing what I do, but they are already spread too thin. Oh, and this same thing goes for Special education teachers. Right now special ed teachers come in and support special ed kids in the general ed classrooms. But if those funds go away, we won't get that either. I am not really worried about my job because I have other options, but I am worried about these kids, yours included. [/quote]
