How should California teach roughly a quarter of the state's public school population -- students who are not native English speakers -- how to read and write?

WE shouldn't. Most of these students should be home in Mexico learning their lessons in Spanish.

A thought ~ they should either learn English back in their own country, or they should be sent to "your child is now in an American language immersion class" camp.

Send Mexico the bill for the lessons.
