Wow, I realized something this morning I'm not happy about. I have limited experience with teaching ESL. I'm now tutoring my Vietnamese neighbors and they are coming a long fine. One of the sentences she had to read from her ESL book today was, "Did you sign the petition for the Clean Energy Bill", or something like that. Then when I was on the computer, looking for stuff for her to do, I found this paragraph...

Death Penalty Quiz

I mean, of the 5 billion subjects they could give an immigrant a grammar quiz on, it would have to be a paragraph about a non merciful judge. Whatever! The paragraph doesn't upset me too much, it's the subject matter.

Am I being over sensitive here?

Once they have quickly received their citizenship, right before an election, pushed through by Democrats (as happens in Texas) they are loyal liberals forever. Not to mention all the "gifts" given by the Government god, which means so much to them. If they don't have them sucked into liberalism by then, they will for sure catch them in ESL class. Am I wrong?

For the record, my Vietnamese neighbors are die hard Capitalist and work like animals. I'm proud to know them and we have become good friends.

Good morning. As an FYI - some home school families might not realize it, but Ebay is a great source for books and other material. We just bought a couple of Saxon Math text books for around $15.00 plus shipping and they are in A1 shape.
