Description

As the United States re-examines its borders and immigration policies, the debate over educating immigrant students in publicly funded schools has divided Americans. What can teachers and immigrant students expect from each other? Laurie Olsen, director of a nationally recognised immigrant organisation, describes what it looks and feels like to go to school and to teach in a culturally diverse environment.
