Has Martha's Vineyard Syndrome hit NYC?

More than 100 migrant kids flooded into one Hell’s Kitchen elementary school — swelling class sizes up to 38 students, The Post has learned.
The children — between 100 and 120 — were among the wave of asylum seekers pouring into the Big Apple, including on buses from Texas, some staying at a nearby shelter.
PS 111 on West 53rd Street normally has class sizes of 25 to 30. As the classes filled with newcomers, the school wound up sending 15 of the kids to nearby PS 51, where they were enrolled in “transitional bilingual” classes, according to a PS 111 insider.
The transitional program offers instruction in Spanish half of the year, and then gradually adds English.
“Some parents just said, ‘I don’t want them speaking Spanish. I want them learning English now,'” the staffer said.
The sudden influx has led to worry about ongoing overcrowding and how teachers will cope — and also about how the new students are faring.
“I’m just concerned that the classrooms are a lot larger so there’s not really that one-on-one time with the children,” one PS 111 mom said. “It’s just unfortunate that they’re all here and they didn’t get split up; there’s so many other public schools.”
Another mom said her son — a third grader — told her, “The teachers are having a hard time because a lot of the kids don’t speak English.”

Illegals are the new US citizens.
Legacy US citizens are slated for extermination.
Deport all illegals, kick out job stealing H1-B’s.
A problem that the students at Sidwell Friends and the like will never have to deal with.
Tell us again how the RATs “care” about the children which is total crap. All they care about is padding their own pockets, power, money laundering, and screwing over We The People.
We have kids in school here in Phx that do not speak any English. The class has no translator. The kids are just ‘there’.
The migrants require so much extra attention that the regular students are cheated of quality education.
Gee, that’s a shame.
I’m sure New Yorkers would have no complaints about sending them all to Wright County, Iowa, population 13,000.
Wait, wait! That many ((and more) are already there…
Send them over to Delaware and let Biden educate them.
It’s a shame that the racists of Martha’s Vineyard wouldn’t take them.
Has Martha's Vineyard Syndrome hit NYC?
Amazing they still use that fun term Hell’s Kitchen. I first heard it on the revival of Ellery Queen where the father said “Back then I was a patrolman pounding a beat in Hell’s Kitchen.” But this is a normal section of NY like TriBeCa (Triangle Below Canal Street) or SoHo (South of Houston Street——pronounced Howsstenn).
Odd name.
I don’t care about Hell’s Kitchen. When I start reading about hundreds of illegals going to school in Bel Air or the Upper East Side, then I’ll bother to read the story.
School busses come over the Mexican/Texas border every single school day, filled with Mexican kids who go to school in the USA, eat school lunches and get medical attention. All free to them, compliments of the American taxpayers.
A coworker I worked with complained to the school board in his town in Texas and was called a racist by everyone on the board.
New York should build a wall. Funded by federal taxpayers, of course. Funny nobody ever thought of that before...
NYC embrace the suck you voted for.
And each kid is costing American taxpayers $28,000 each per year just for school. Of course there will also be food, housing and medical allotments.
Welcome to the mexicOs’ wonderland.
I’ll agree about the H1Bs except… our current crop of college graduates are severely deficient in technical skills that theH1Bs have. Say you are looking for some one to forecast your corporate sales based on a complex array of internal and external data. A purple haired lip pierced gender studies graduate interviews along with a math graduate from an Indian technical university. Which one would you hire? Sad but true college in the USA has become a socialist indoctrination center rather than a place to acquire useful skills.
