在美教移民的孩子们学英语

In the US we h**e free ***mpuls***y pub***c ***ucation f*** all children from grade 1 *** grade 12. Children must stay *** school through grade 12, *** at least until they are 16. Pub***c schoo***ng is truly free: no book fees, no mus*** fees, no athlet*** fees. Books are hand*** out at the beg***n***g of the school year and must be retur***d at the end. Most schools supply paper, pencils, erasers, calcula***rs, ***mputers, art supp***es and mus***al ***stru***nts.
　　I h**e been a primary-school teacher f*** over 30 years. I teach Eng***sh *** Cambridge, Massachusetts, *** pupils who are ***mbers of racial m******ities. Currently I w***k with Haitian immigrant children who do not speak Eng***sh when they enter school. Their fami***es ****** from a ***untry where ***olence is all ***o ***mmon. Haitian schools are often clos***; ***de***, *** the past ten years, there has not been a s***gle ***mplete school year. Gr***d***g poverty resu***s *** a very low level of ***teracy. Parents seldom h**e funds f*** books, paper *** pencils. When the children of such fami***es arrive *** the US, they are woefully unprepar*** *** ***mpete with their middle-class agemates.
usa对小学一年级到12年级的孩籽实行强迫性职责教导，孩子们必需正在学府里读完12年，大概最少要到16岁。公立学府的切实其实确是收费的：不收书籍费，不收乐曲课用度，不收运动课用度。每学年起始时书会发到孩子手里，期末则必需交归去。大多半学府还供应纸页、铅笔、橡皮、核算器、核算机、艺术课器具和乐器。
　　我正在小学职务了30多年，正在马萨诸塞州剑桥市教小学子英文，这些学子属于usa的多数民族群体。今朝，我在教从海地移平易近过去的孩子，他们正在踩进校门时一句英语都不会说。他们的家来自一个各处都是暴力的国度，学府经常是闭闭着的，说质朴的，正在以前10年中，海地连一个完备的学年都不过。贫困的煎熬使得海地人民中的识字程度极低，怙恃可贵有钱为孩子们买书、纸页和铅笔。当如许家的孩子到了usa后，要想与来自中产阶层的同龄人竞赛，其根本极其脆弱。
