Just some food for thought... As you'll see in this link, a lot of schools are closing. You may not be aware, but asylum-seeking migrants and their children are in our communities. Many are the least educated or not educated at all. The reality is some are enrolling in our schools. Teachers and students are needing to accommodate (or compensate) for them in their classrooms. What if we separate those who need remediation and assess them for grade level and reopen and staff some closed campuses so those kids can enroll and catch up? Meanwhile, our kids can achieve their education unencumbered by slower students. You can argue all day about whether they belong here but the reality is it could take years to determine their claims of asylum. Kids continue to grow and chances of remediation slips away over time. We need to play the long game. Educate them now so they don't become tomorrow's poverty-stricken criminals that will prey on us or remain a burden on society. While we're at it, teach them good old American values so they appreciate the country they are in. https://lnkd.in/gB28mp2H?
