I succeeded mostly succeeded in refraining from Peppermint Patty Laughing at this image a student showed me - outside of school hours - that was saved in her iPad camera roll:
I heartily encouraged her to never open that gem at school. Ever. Again.
For my friends interested in United States public education (like how I popped this in here, eh?), which I direly hope is ALL of you, this testimony by an educator is worth all 7 minutes, and a smidgen, of your time. It's a textbook example of why our country's immigration system demands the overhauling that the overwhelming majority of citizens and non-citizens demand, albeit for varied reasons. No matter the political or social label you may have assigned yourself, I'm gonna hazard a guess that rare is the one of us who supports the cow manure logic notion that a child brought to our country under the wing of his parent(s) - who are 99% likely to be doing so in hopes of cultivating a better home and future for their children - should be educated, as is compulsorily required and rightly offered to children in the US, and then tossed back to a country they've never 'known' as a result of a stiffer consequence that some of the most degenerative criminals do not even face. I'm no economic oracle of expertise, but I'm going to traipse delicately onto a flimsy limb here and suspect that this is not a sound return on our taxpayer <and social> investment. Creating a legal reasonable pathway for children educated in our country, to become citizens and enable them the opportunity to contribute to society, is, plain vanilla, simply the right thing to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o7Jc7dZzio&feature=em-subs_digest
A legal and reasonable pathway to citizenship for US educated children not your cup of iced tea? Contact your federal representative. I hear they make lots of important things happen up there. <snort>
