Sorry no compassion from me. I don't believe our taxes should go towards teaching legal and illegal immigrants English during school time with school resources/funding.  We have seen art, PE, music classes, para educators slashed to pay for the increasing ESOL teachers. Our curriculum continues to get easier and less challenging to make sure kids pass. Our test scores continue to diminish.  If you want to move here learn the language before or have separate classes where the whole family must learn English.  Maybe the PTA wouldn't have to send things out in 6 languages then. You can make the parents accountable too which is a non-issue as well. [/quote]

Please provide evidence to support your assertions that:

1. "art, PE, music classes, para educators slashed to pay for the increasing ESOL teachers"
2. "Our curriculum continues to get easier and less challenging to make sure kids pass"

Also, your disagreement is with the U.S. Supreme Court, which has held that denying public education based on immigration status violates the equal protection cause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Read Plyler v. Doe, then go talk about this stuff on the politics forum.

Yes I would like to see the evidence of number 1 and 2 as well.  PP made some sweeping generalizations which I don't believe are backed up with facts.  [/quote]
