[quote=Anonymous]How about making kids learn English BEFORE going to school so the teachers can actually teach them.  You want to come to America legally or illegally. It is YOUR responsibility to learn the language taught in schools, not the teachers trying to teach a class of 25+

I was amazed how many kids in my daughter's preschool do not know English and act out all day because they don't understand basic commands.  These parents don't seem concerned and will be sending these kids to public school next year.

My son has 3 in his 2nd grade that do not speak English at all and understand very little. At least another 5 more with limited English. Volunteering in that class has made me realize she spends 2-3x more with them then my average-student son. He is often left with busy work while she works with the non-English children. There is no teaching as a whole. Average kids often read books and goof because there is no help.

It is a huge issue in this county. Liberals love to embrace diversity and esl, farms, anything else to help immigrants but no one seems to realize how much harder it is for a teacher in this county to teach a class as a whole when the same language isn't spoken.  No offense but if you look at the "schools at a glance", the Hispanic test scores are by far the lowest in every school across the board. Some are only 20% passing.

So we increase education funding for them while nothing is done for other kids. It is a no win situation. [/quote]
