Tests in California show that English Immersion works better and gets student up to speed faster. Why don't they do it? It is UN-PC. So, instead of helping kids get ready for the world, giving them language tools they will need to succeed - schools keep them ingnorant, disillusioned, marginalized and teach them to call anyone who disagrees with them 'racist'. Seriously, how are they supposed to 'come out of the shadows' and be 'productive and hardworking' so ill prepared? OUR SCHOOLS ARE HURTING KIDS AND MAKING THE PROBLEM WORSE - all in the name of being politically correct! Oh, and don't forget about all the tax money flowing in to 'fix' the problems of gangs, violence and ignorance. The politicos get more money for their 'campaign funds' this way. See how it works?
