CAL: Digests: Promoting Language Proficiency and Academic Immigrant students constitute an ever increasing proportion of the school-age population, particularly those enrolled at the secondary school level. For students at this level, the difficult transitions of adolescence combined with the challenge of learning to express thoughts, develop a personality, and master academic content in a language they are still learning can be overwhelming (Spenser & Dornbusch, 1990). The inability to communicate ideas and feelings confidently can result in confusion, frustration, anger, and alienation. In addition, immigrant students must balance the value systems of their native culture, ...
School documents and orientation materials should be translated into the home languages of immigrant students. However, because some students and their parents may not be literate in their native language, schools should not rely solely on written documents. In Prince George's County, Maryland, school staff have developed a video in several languages about school procedures, expectations, and opportunities, for parents to view while their children are being enrolled at the intake center.

As the town moves forward with its school project it can look at Natick - Now that Framingham has completed its $54 million remodeling of Framingham High School, is it possible that Natick, which recently submitted its Statement of Interest for its high school to the Massachusetts School Building Authority, could learn some lessons from the Framingham project, which ran $5 million over budget because of unforeseen construction costs. "When you start opening up walls, we had an overrun," said Framingham School Committee Chairman Phil Dinsky. The biggest lesson Dinsky shared was the difficulty of renovating the school while it remained in operation. ...

Assembly Bill 173 would place responsibility for the program under the purview of the state superintendent of instruction and allow for voluntary participation by schools and school districts. “This would allow school districts to take have more responsibility and have choices of what students are offered,” said Julian Crocker, San Luis Obispo County superintendent of schools. “Priority is granted to schools in the 1 to 3 decile range.” ...

Better know an obstructionist: Sen. Michelle McManus (R-Lake Leelanau) This family has inflicted more harm in northern MI than any I can think of. Michelle is widely hated in Grand Traverse Co. but apparently loved by all the good ol' boys throughout the district that was formed so she could actually win a stinkin' race. Sadly her last race is yet another reflection of our suicidal lack of long term thinking an willingness to invest in local candidates who can go on to soundly beat the likes of this GOP water-carrier.

Piss off if you think my poli-sci degree means I'm any less intelligent than another liberal arts major. Unlike an engineering or language degree, what matters is how you apply it, not just that you have it. I used mine to get into grad school, while she just got one to kill time until her family could get her a seat in the Legislature. Also, the 35th is my home district. For a Dem to win up there would require somebody with the gravitas and fundraising of an Obama to overcome the inherent anti-D gerrymandering. I hate term limits, but they'll do to get rid of McManus.
