Thread: School in Clovis, New Mexico...UNBELIEVABLE!

This really aggravates me as it was my hometown, until I was nine. I still go back to visit, I have relatives that live there...Small town about 35,000 people.

They should be very proud of themselves.......in 6 years they've managed to teach a whopping 40% rudimentary English!

Exceptional.....their enriched curriculum. Who's paying for this piss poor education? American Taxpayers? What a bang for our buck!

Is that even LEGAL in an American PUBLIC school? I'm truly confused about the school being Public, paid by the American tax dollars and allowing a foreign 'consulate' into the mix.
