Rather than use school texts and curriculum created in America, some Oregon public schools have now opted for school products used and furnished by Mexico.
Until now, Oregon school districts generally have relied on bilingual aides or used Spanish material different from the English material others are studying.
“That’s not enough,” said Patrick Burk, chief policy officer with the superintendent’s office of the Oregon Department of Education. He said the idea is minimal disruption for immigrant Latinos.
“The availability of resources is astounding,” said Burk, who flew to Mexico with Oregon curriculum officials in August to discuss making equivalency standards official. “We’re able to serve the students so much better if we’re working together.”
The availability of resources in America is astounding too. All you have to do is LEARN THE LANGUAGE! I don’t think that is too much to ask for, is it? I mean, after all, you are in school. How about teaching English?
Immerse the children in the language and they will learn it. Abandon the language and the assimilation ends and the separation deepens. This cannot stand.
Your tax dollars at work.
