[MCP] Multicultural education

[Karen Donohue]

I agree with you.  It is unfair to these students to lump them in special education classes.  They have no learning, emotional, or behavioral disabilities to speak of.  Not knowing a language fluently does not make you learning disabled.  Frequently many of these students are A students in their native country and therefore not Speacial Ed.  If we offered these students the proper resources perhaps their failure rates would not be so high

Our Multicultural educational system is bias, lots of foreign students are placed in special education programs, since they encounter learning problems because they do not speak and understand English properly and have problems communicating and expressing their ideas in the class
