CANTON, Ga. – A Georgia elementary school launched a new program for upcoming school year that will rely on older students who just learned English to help teach younger students the language.
Approximately 42 percent of our students are served in our program for English as a second language,” Canton Elementary School Principal Beth Long told WSBTV.
That means about 336 of the school’s 800 students must learn how to speak, write and read English fluently, a process school officials contend takes five to seven years.
...
The news story provided omitted all details on the school’s new program, including the cost. But Canton isn’t the only elementary school relying on special programs to cope with an increase in ESL students.
At Warren Elementary in Bowling Green, Kentucky, students from numerous schools spent the summer working on their English for the 2015-16 school year, according to the Bowling Green Daily News.
The program was free for the roughly 70 fourth through seventh graders who participated in the daily lessons. Those kids received free breakfast and lunch throughout the summer.

On the good side.. that elementary school will have the cleanest toilets in town. /s
Or six months to a year in a private school.
This is the reason why my friend quit teaching public school.
This... and he has been long sick of looking at fat 12 year olds that have Iphones and are on the school lunch program.
Now he has a consulting business for parents that homeschool. He says best move he ever made and the children are 4 grades smarter.
Deport.
That’s what I’ve wondered about with bilingual education.
I always wondered why they don’t take all those kids, and hold them back one school year, and just get them up to speed in English for that year. Then the next year, they can just be in regular English taught classes.
How is it that older kids cause trouble in these classes? Maybe they need their own class which would include some effective discipline techniques?? Just a thought.
“For some reason the wets really like Georgia.”
Carpet and poultry industries, construction sector, landscaping businesses ... all dominated by Latino workers
Canton Georgia is a Beautiful area. It’s very conservative too. The last time I checked the DNC does not even run a candidate there.
I’m curious what was the % was the previous years?
Nearly half of students don’t speak English at GA elementary school
The BIG question is why?
America has always been a Nation of Immigrants.
Dutch, Italian, Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Greeks, on and on.. One of the first things most did was see that their children learned to speak English. Did not mean they did not learn the language of their parents, its was just that their parents understood the need for it.
What has changed?
I was in Georgia a few months ago and I could understand what language they were speaking out there. And I’m not talking about the Latinos!
Yes, all of that may be true, but just think of the glorious advantages of celebrating diversity every single day. Diversity is our strength. Our founders were so racist; notice they named the country the “United” States. And when the country is finally a third world hell-hole, we can congratulate ourselves that we were NOT RACIST; no sir, no one can ever hurl that evil accusation at us, and we pleased the Northern liberals, the Soros crowd — the globalists. And, they will probably be kind enough to clink their expensive wine glasses in a toast to our utter, complete, and unparalleled stupidity.
Another reason to homeschool
Now we know where the usurper dumped a few bus loads of illegals.
INVASION
I figure in about ten years someone is going into the oven.... Each day that passes it looks more and more like it's going to be whitey....
Obamugabe’s illegally relocated Central American “minors”?
I’m guessing Obamugabe’s illegally relocated Central American “minors”.
Aye Carumba!
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Plus, GA culture values being kind to others. It’s similar to what we saw in Charleston.
Here in SoCal: OMG, half the kids in the class can speak English! Awesome!
