English Language Supports Are Important / Los apoyos del idioma inglés son importantes

            One of the things that I haven't heard covered in the news (either local or national) is how Chicago Public Schools needs more teachers that support bilingual students or English Language Learning Students.  We say Chicago is a "sanctuary city" but we don't have enough supports for these students. Spanish is just one of many languages spoken in Chicago.  In one classroom, a teacher had 27 different language spoken. Without the supports of these teachers, children might also be mislabeled as having a learning disability when they have average or above average intelligence.  This is not OK!  Part of the reason why I think the strike negotiations are going so long is because our previous mayors have cut back on so many essentials.  However, we cannot forget about all the aspects that help children thrive.  The money is there for billionaire condo developers so it has to be there for our children.

Una de las cosas que no he escuchado en las noticias (ya sea local o nacional) es cómo las Escuelas Públicas de Chicago necesitan más maestros que apoyen a los estudiantes bilingües o estudiantes de aprendizaje del idioma inglés. Decimos que Chicago es una "ciudad santuario", pero no tenemos suficientes apoyos para estos estudiantes. El español es solo uno de los muchos idiomas que se hablan en Chicago. En una clase, un maestro tenía 27 idiomas diferentes hablados. Sin el apoyo de estos maestros, los niños también podrían ser etiquetados erróneamente como teniendo una discapacidad de aprendizaje cuando tienen inteligencia promedio o superior al promedio. ¡Esto no está bien! Parte de la razón por la que creo que las negociaciones de huelga se prolongan tanto es porque nuestros alcaldes anteriores han recortado tantos elementos esenciales. Sin embargo, no podemos olvidar todos los aspectos que ayudan a los niños a prosperar. El dinero está ahí para desarrolladores de condominios multimillonarios, por lo que tiene que estar allí para nuestros hijos.
