Not to pick on Spanish, but they are the only group who demands their kids be taught in Spanish. Why the high failure rate if hispanic kids are being taught in Spanish?
Any other ethnic group being taught in their own language? What are the statistics on them?
The biggest challenge facing all teenagers is if their parents are not involved in their studies. Where are these kids going after school instead of doing their homework? Do they ask for extra help? Is it given to them? Do the parents have any clue what's going on and do they care?Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Recently in a school I volunteer at, a parent asked came in and first asked if anyone spoke Spanish (in Spanish, of course). A secretary from another office had to come in to translate, their question about if their daughter could take the upcomming state tests in Spanish?? One administrator told them the test isn't offered in any other language except English. The parents proceeded to say their kids was in an ESL class, and thought they gave the test in other languages (Spanish) to help those kids. My thought while this was taking place: LEARN ENGLISH!!!

Most all of the so called "immigrant" children I teach every day have parents with a completely different attitude. They feel if it was good enough for them it is damn sure good enough for their kids. None of them had and education and did just fine so why should their kids worry about an education. Even more of them seem to have kids only so they can drop out of school and go to work and help put material things in the house.
Diversity in teaching? Those of us who teach don't see color, we see butts in the chairs and hope they came ready to learn. It doesn't matter what color a teacher is or where they came from as long as the kid is there to learn.
In these cases, most of the kids come to school 1-2 hours late, bring no materials to learn with and wouldn't do home work if you begged them. The miss Monday, like papa missed work. The miss Friday because they learned to miss from papa or momma. They also take off every time they don't feel like working or papa needs them to help him with his work.
At the school I work at, we have about 85, 16-18 year old girls who are in our pregnancy related services. This is all that are allowed because
the district only provides one teacher. We probably have triple that who are not getting the services. Now, what happened to parenting? Why are so many of these little girls allowed to get pregnant and nothing is done. Usually the boy responsible moves in with the parents of the girl he knocked up. One happy family......only because in the Mexican culture getting pregnant at this age by even an adult, is ok.
These loud mouth liberal racists can whine all they want about diversity. This is a completely different culture we are dealing with and without help from home no amount of diversity is going to change anything.
How many times have I seen Mexican parents called to a teacher meeting and during this meeting the child is allowed to yell at the teacher and use profanity. All while the parent does nothing. Obviously this culture we deal with every day does not share the same ethics and values we have and this problem not going to change.Certified Member

Many people in my area have pulled their kids out of public schools and are now home schooling them. It's the only way to stop the dumbing down that's been going on. Diversity does not make kids smarter or learn better, it's propoganda only. I want the BEST teachers for my kids, regardless of race or gender.
For every student that drops out of the schools this way, the school loses money. I am comtemplating quitting my job and doing the same. Oddly enough, our finances will be better using public assistance and home schooling, than working full time and sending my kids to school!
I guess the pro-illegal sympathizers will wake up when all that are left in the schools are illegals and children of illegals? Oh wait, I forgot, the sympathizers send THEIR kids to private schools!Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Diversity does NOT make kids ANY smarter than being MULTILINGUAL does! Despite that my friend from Brazil and I are multilingual, we AGREE that ENGLISH is THE language of AMERICA! And that kids in AMERICAN schools MUST learn English FIRST!
