But this -- along with the equally crazy insertion of non-English
speaking
kids -- is an ENTIRELY different problem than "No Child Left Behind."

Way back in junior high school, two Vietnamese girls were placed into our
science class. They could not speak a stitch of English. The teacher
assigned me to one of the girls and another classmate to the other. We
were
to help them complete the classwork. I felt bad for them, but I was also
mad
because I couldn't get my work done. I compained to the teacher, but she
said her hands were tied. They passed the class, but only because we
basically did their work for them (they copied our papers).

Hopefully this type of thing doesn't happen anymore.

Oh, but it does. It is force on the schools, with little funding to do more
than small amounts of individual help.
