All immigrants should learn to speak and write English before becoming a citizen. That’s how it was for my grandparents, and have no idea when that changed. This country has literally become the Tower of Babel.
As for the schools, shame on them if they are not held more accountable for their actions. If they are following state guidelines, then it’s another Deval failure.
Students should have to meet a certain criteria (i.e. speak SOME English) before entering our schools. Off topic….but they should have to prove vaccination records IN THIS COUNTRY and not allowed in our schools if they are unvaccinated. If anyone from the school department claims that statement is wrong, then they are wrong. I have three children in the school system and have not been asked for medical records in years. It’s time to start safeguarding our own and stop spending so much money to appease people when half are not even legal residents!
