These hispanics who refuse to learn proper english are the ones who drop out of school early and will be seen on the front page of the newspaper..Hemstead is not that big of town.Wait until the influx of illegals who just arrived will really put a strain teach spanish to speak english.In Houston they do not care.Thyey want it to be spanish. Which is why SWH is GHETTO from to many illegals as is NWH..
Both sides of town in the news everyday..Illegals obama says are as American as anybody else except when it comes to learning english they want you to learn spanish
Thing is — all the kids == even those attending ESL classes are learning English. They might speak Spanish at home, but most of them want to fit in and speak English at school.
