Parent-Teacher Night

[Unkotare]

A good turn-out at the most recent parent-teacher night.

I had to conduct all but one in Spanish (my Igbo isn’t strong yet), but every family expressed the same goals and concerns as you would expect.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Oh, good.

What were the goals and concerns, Unkotare?

 

[Unkotare]

Oh, good.

What were the goals and concerns, Unkotare?

For their children to master English, get a good education and succeed in America.

That's a great set of goals. Carpe diem!

What were their concerns?

What was the turnout as a percent of students? If anyone in the school crossed 5% participation, we were overjoyed. Of course, only the parents of the good students ever show up.

Why aren't the parents enrolled in English classes?

Why aren't the parents enrolled in English classes?

I didn’t ask, because I’m not an idiot.

That's debatable.

Almost all of my students who come from Spanish-speaking homes, I have to say: same.

Isn't this the way of immigrants for the past 100+ years? The first generation born here tend to be more successful than the GenPop because the parents are more aware of the opportunities here - as opposed to wherever they came from. Entrepreneurship and higher ed are the keys, in that order.

God bless their efforts.

You honestly believe that?

If that is so, why are twice as many immigrants on welfare as oppose to the native born?

immigrants must learn the local language or be second class citizens. fact.

 

[Unkotare]

immigrants must learn the local language .....

No one knows that better than an immigrant.
