.....Westy.....
From another thread:
Another interesting letter to CITY JOURNAL on illegal immigrants...:
The insanity starts in the school system. My daughter teaches in a public school with approximately 50 employees. Only 17 are regular teachers. The rest are interpreters, ESL teachers, counselors, psychologists. The children even have their own attorneys if needed, courtesy of the taxpayer. Three of the regular teachers have decided to become ESL teachers. And why not? They will have small classes and not be accountable to anyone if the kids don't learn. Teachers are required to send written material home in the household's native language. This is probably a waste of time; most parents don't communicate with the school or show up for conferences. Few of these kids will actually learn English at school, as their instruction time is scant—about 30 minutes every other day. Recently, the school's cafeteria sported signs in three other languages above the sign HOT DOGS. Our tax dollars at work.
