NYC schools struggle to cope with influx of 5,500 migrant kids
NY Post ^ | October 11, 2022 | By Bernadette Hogan, Kyle Schnitzer, et al

A Manhattan public school with just one certified bilingual teacher is reeling under the weight of a sudden influx of migrant students who don’t speak any English, The Post has learned.

“We’re overwhelmed,” one frustrated teacher at PS 33 Chelsea Prep said Tuesday.

“We’ve all got migrant students in our classrooms. The teachers don’t speak Spanish. There’s no resources helping us out right now — it’s a very challenging situation.”

One outraged mom said migrant kids — easily identified by lime green ID tags that hang from their necks — have swelled the size of her daughter’s class from 15 to 20 kids.

“She’s in the third grade. Her teacher is giving her lower-level work due to the immigrants. They’re making the curriculum easier,” said Maria, a 29-year-old fashion designer.

“The work is too easy for my daughter. There’s first-grade, second-grade and third-grade levels in her class. It’s ridiculous.”

The burden has some furious parents preparing to pull their kids out and send them elsewhere.

The alarming situation offers an example of how the flood of migrants to the Big Apple — now nearly 19,000 strong, with no sign of stopping — is straining the city’s ability to provide them with housing, education and social services.

If you want to see the liberal really panic, just wait and see if these illegals start voting Republican when given the chance!

These crybabies can’t deal with their own political reaping. Are awful people.

Maybe they’ll wake up and stop voting for Democrats, but I’m not holding my breath.

Remember to keep thanking Joe Biden and the democrats for the open border for the sake of importing democrat future voters.

They are a sanctuary city and should be fully prepared to act as one.

But it's fine if a South Texas border town with 1/1000th the population of NYC gets clobbered with 100 times the number of illegals that NYC has had to absorb, they're supposed to just take them in and not complain.

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago when the school districts in New York and Chicago were crying about students not coming back to school because the parents had moved or were home schooling? And vastly more important than the students was the federal and state money that wasn't there because of lack of students. Well,now you have your students.

Also, why are non-English speakers being mainstreamed into other classes rather than gathering them and teaching them English together? Fewer Spanish speaking teachers would be needed and you wouldn't hold back the other students.

Eric's pivot and shift needs more spin, a lot more spin.

Eric should try Operation Whirling Dervish.

And the downside of that is?

We had an influx of kids in my 1st-4th grade who were at the remedial level and were given ALL the attention by all the teachers. Guess what - eventually the learning curve dropped to accommodate them and we all suffered.

Too bad so sad, democrat NYers.

You got EXACTLY what you voted for. Now, go walk your kid out to the bus and shield them so they don’t get shot, stabbed or raped by the criminals you voted to protect.

The only thing Gov. DeSantis and Gov. Abbott could improve on is sending train loads rather than bus loads.

The Miggies don’t pay taxes, their kids have no right to go to our schools. That’s BS. They came here for “asyslum”, not welfare, free healthcare and a free education. It’s the government’s job to provide them with free crap. Using their money. It’s not the job of the U.S. taxpayers. We don’t provide “asylum”. The UN can kiss my ass. They have no right to tell us it is America’s job to take in the freeloaders and criminals from other nations. Crap their own governments don’t even want.
