Teachers struggle to communicate with migrant kids: ‘Breaks my heart’ | NewsNation Now
As the nation sees a continued influx of new migrant arrivals, schools and hospitals are seeing their resources stretched in new ways. In the rural town of Albertville, Alabama, 65% of students are Latino, some of whom have never had a formal education, even in their native Spanish.
NewsNation’s Elizabeth Prann joins "NewsNation Now" with the latest on how schools are responding to the influx of migrant children.

It also breaks the american taxpayer. Deport.

Average 30 a month, that's a problem 🤔
Unvaxxed kids, where is the woke outrage?
People have moved on , if people don’t want to get vaccinations then don’t . Vice versa
So how much of the teachers time are American kids not getting. Years ago there wasn’t bilingual education, the non English speaking kids were in the same classroom as everyone else and they learned English, total immersion.
Thank you for pointing this out! Our kids suffer because these uninvited guests bring kids who don’t speak our language! How does any of this make sense for our future American children! Smdh
Mr. Biden is the best president we have had since Clinton. I will vote for him again.
@@sarbantz Curious what you believe his accomplishments and accolades are to make that statement.
Completely asinine. I live in The Netherlands. In the 1990a, my 15 year old stepdaughter came to live here and she went to a Dutch High School. She grew up in America and did not know any Dutch. Was she "catered to "because of the language difference? HELL NO. She did very well in school and quickly learned the language...No special teacher, no nothing. Sink or swim!!
It’s called immersion.
Why is everything so Emotional? I went to school with kids like this in Los Angeles. They showed up everyday, Tried their best and anyone kid who was cool and talkative, and Bilingual simply helped with the Teacher's Instructions. I have very vivid memories of kids I sae in Middle School with No English skills, finish High School with me being totally normal kids. For me this is Sensationalism.
You also went to school during a different time. You have to think about NOW where teachers have to deal with overloaded classrooms with kids who can't even read or write at the right grade level. Throw in extra wrinkles with kids who can't even speak a lick of English needing extra help. I have seen it firsthand how classrooms now have to have paraeducators just to translate for the migrant kids. Imagine this complexity on a large scale. The resources aren't always going to be there.
@@nothingreallyrhymeswithora9377 Those are the same problems we had back in the day!!! Crowded class rooms where always a thing! Are you getting me?! I don't know if I had mentioned but I'm in Los Angeles. LAUSD has always had issues, I even remember there being a Teacher's Strike. On top of that as soon as my Basic schooling was done by 2007 when I graduated High School, the school system was then starting to deal with income differences when they were trying to introduce Laptops to class rooms. Nothing you said is anything new. It's literally like the Economy Falling Apart and Gas Prices going up like they do in routine since the 80s. I bet if we were to look back further we would have some of the same issues with even earlier generations.
This should have been well thought out before opening the flood gate. Now it's underpaid teachers that are with the problem dumped in their lap.
Our country is in trouble
What we need the most is accontability on the parents who brought their kids here illegally.
These children an parents need to go home. We speak English here in school an these children are wasting the teachers time.
These kids will graduate without speaking English, and expect us to learn Spanish.
And the american kids that need extra help will not get it, so where is that fair and also you will have 12 yr olds from other countries like south america and africa in 2nd grade classes cause they have no formal education this is totally insane! I worry about my grandson who is 9 yrs old that has a mild form of autism and is already struggling in school im afraid of him and other american children being left behind!
All of these non-English speaking kids need to be put into an ESL only class until they speak English well enough to learn with everyone else. It must be hell trying to teach in English to students that don’t speak it along with English speakers. This isn’t fair for anyone.
I agree, because society is harmed by the English speaking students being dragged down with the whole class, plus the ESL students are put under too much stress trying to learn English and the lessons at the same time.
What I mean about society being harmed is that 'would-be' engineers, doctors, etc. have their potential diminished by this watering down of every school day.'
What's the point when they can't learn because they don't understand. Use the resources to educate OUR CHILDREN FIRST!!! Its not enough because you don't have the resources. And back when this teacher came into this country TOTALLY DIFFERENT TIME it's too much and they will fall through the cracks. If they can't learn. They'll learn to do something else just to survive and problems end up in prison or dead. Tell me is this the right thing to do when you can teach these children without the resources I SAY NO!!!
Oh really? Could that be because maybe they speak a different language? derrrrrrrrr
I live here, its unbelievable the change in the last 20 years, there are more private owned latino businesses than there are American, im not talking about corporate businesses, im talking about mom and pop. Newcomers are gettting alot of help with food stamps, housing , etc. The Haitan wave is underway here and its off the charts.
Just think of All the Children We have ZERO CLUE To where they are or WHAT is Happening to them in DARK isolated Places within this Country. And Not ONE person Looking for them or even KNOWS about them...
🪳school! This is an effing joke!
Those trays had breakfast on them. Way too much food, which leads to too much waste. Kids don't need to eat like Sumo wrestlers, and they chuck it in the garbage. Unappealing looking food at that.
Are you for real?
@AmusedChild yes that's for real, I grew up in a poor family that migrated from Portugal, I was the first in my family to be born American. We didn't get breakfast at school, and some kids got reduced lunch vouchers because they were poor like me. I'm tired of people like you that everything should be a handout. In my family going out to was not weekly or monthly, my mom made most everything in our home ,our clothes, bedding, curtains. Grow up life isn't suppose to be a free ride, when you earn it through hard work you appreciate it more.
Yep, I have witnessed migrant children throwing food away.... They are well fed, unlike some of the other needy people that were born Americans.
In this town the churches and Chicken plants bring the immigrants in to work, there are many plants in the county employing thousands and thousands, once here after a while they get sick of working at the chicken plant and more come to replace those. We are now onto Haitians, Africans and some Micronesians
Good point that the tax $$ isn't there for these new students if they are double or tripling up in one home. And ** when the school day isn't productive enough due to language barriers. We all need the next generation to become highly skilled, knowledgeable professionals, such as doctors, nurses, & engineers.
How about they learn English?
Teachers already struggle teaching kids right now due to lower attention spans and weaker education standards. Now let's throw in migrant kids who require extra accommodation (namely, they literally can't understand what the teacher is saying properly). Yeah, good combo. XD
Good comment, except it's *higher education standards. Teachers are forced to 'teach to the test', meaning it's no longer important that students retain info long-term, have a deep understanding, or develop their minds, but HIGHLY important that the school can show 'on paper' that it is a high performing school - - for the $$$.
They will learn, no worries!!
Que barbaridad!!!
Trump 2024
that teacher is hot😅
Southern women are nice
Crap
These teachers are so dramatic. Like, bro, just stop. Why are you crying?
Hope school have only class room for illegal immigrants kids So teacher are speaking different then regular students
Mr. Biden is the best president we have had since Clinton. I will vote for him again.
