Well that may have been true then but now it's provably the opposite. Here in NYC more is spent to educate recently arrived IA children then for our own kids. Many schools here are forced to drop advanced classes, gym and other programs that benefit our kids so they can add ever increasing numbers of ESL classes in multitudes of languages. In fact it is almost a job requirement for grade school teachers here to be bilingual.
