English learners are students who have been identified as having a dominant language other than English. It doesn’t mean these students are determined to learn their new country’s language. Don’t let the bill’s name confuse you. Bilingual education requires only twenty students, It’s native tongue protection backed by the Governor, translators, parents and additional staff.
In a related matter, it’s hard to believe Bridgeport will have the capacity to deliver all these services to a population now equal to fifty percent of enrollment.
Local, you mean, don’t let the bill’s name confuse you, English Learners Bill of Rights? They mean Hispanic, Columbbus history-ish.
That being said, it’s sad that a bill or law has to be enacted for the institution to step up its game to meet the education challenges of today. But then against it could just be politics at play. While their parents may not be determined to learn their new country’s language do the fact that they are working at lower-end manual labor jobs that most born Americans will not fill. Their kids on the other hand, might be a different story. Thought you are right about the capacity to deliver such bilingual services effectively, considering the Port can’t find enough qualified teaches, period.
That’s where tech comes in. The ability to translate English, be it communication or educational instruction/learning is relatively easy with technology with the right teaching/delivering methods. Example People. 🙂
