Texas Teacher Suspended for 'Go Back to Mexico' Comment

18. Bilingual paperwork is available in the AISD.

I have a feeling that the teacher just snapped.Texas school districts have drastically cut back teaching staff and ancillary staff (read-interpreters) to save the precious Republican tax dollar.
A few disclaimers...I am bilingual,my kids went to AISD,mom lives in Arlington and ex-partner taught ESL in AISD.

My sons would routinely bring home "official" paperwork in English and Spanish.Generally,students who were not English-fluent were placed in "English as second language" classrooms.Arlington is unique in the fact that in addition to Hispanic Bilingual students,there is a large population of Vietnamese,Pakistani and many other countries' transplants due to the HUGE UT Arlington,the presence of General Motors,Lockheed Martin and the fact that it exists smack-dab in the middle of the highway between Dallas and Ft Worth.English as a second language used to be the accepted teaching method for children in the upper elementary grades(4th and up).This method has only changed in the last 5 years or so,as more bilingual students are exclusively Spanish Speaking.The effort has been made to replace laid off and retired teachers with exclusively bilingual teachers as they graduate from school,but it is a work in progress.
