What are HONEST teachers telling the law makers. Majority of Latino students fall behind because they don't learn the language, they don't practice the language and the liberal BULLSHIT program of English As A Second Language has been an utter failure!!!

Yet Obama won't listen. He won't repeat the great words of JFK, "Don't ask you your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country!"

Is Obama going to say. Listen folks, to be a success in America you have to learn the American language - English! Work hard to learn it, practice it and make it your primary language of choice! Parents speak English in your home to your children. This dialog is highly important to your children's development!

No one can help you and not government agency or program can do it for it, you have to take the reigns and do it yourself.


But that isn't what Obama will say. What he will talk about it how bad America has been to these Latinos (giving them a better and safer society and a real chance to better themselves and all) and that we have been a prejudice society! He will mention illegal immigration (although he will call it just immigration) and say he is working US traitor Luis Gutirrez on immigraton reform. Then he will make completely empty and baseless promises of how he will do everything he can to make sure they get a quality education and won't let White teachers keep you down!

President to focus on needs of Latino students - CNN.com
Washington (CNN) -- Carrie Cofer, an English teacher at Lincoln-West High School in Cleveland, faces a challenge with some of the Hispanic students she teaches, simply because they haven't been in the United States long enough to become proficient in English.

Although they only read at the "first grade, or second grade level," Cofer and other teachers are supposed to teach them the material they will need to pass state-mandated tests in order to graduate from high school and possibly attend college.

It doesn't help that many of the students don't speak English at home. "They don't have the skills because they don't practice except in the classroom," she said.

The unique challenge facing Hispanics and educators will be the focus of a town hall meeting by President Barack Obama at Bell Multicultural High School in Washington on Monday.

Latino students make up over 20% of the pre-K through high school students in the United States, Secretary of the Education Arne Duncan said in a conference call with reporters Friday. "These students face real and growing challenges that we have to address."

Duncan said that only about half of all Latino students earn their high school diploma on time, and only one in eight end up with a bachelor's degree.

The problems faced by Latinos in high school are unique, said Juan Sepulveda of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.

"We have a small percentage of the population that has a college degree," said Sepulveda. "Even if you throw in community college degrees, we only get up to 19%."
