What do you think.....comments? whatever???
OK. There was a girl who was adopted from Colombia a few months before school started. She barely knew English. On the first day of class..the 4th grade teacher got a big surprise..challenge! How could she teach this girl math, science, etc. ? The school did not offer an assistant/translator and did not seem to care that this girl would be getting so far behind in other course work while she mean while learned her new language. My mother worked at the same school and immediately called me...the Spanish major...to help when she heard about it. I went in to translate a few days a week for a couple of hours when I did not have class. The principal saw me in there helping a few times and never said anything. After a couple of months my job kept me from helping the teacher out. The girl was fully capable:after I explained in Spanish she could do it. The school never offered me a position and never got the girl help.
