State aims to increase graduation rates, teacher support
Gov. John Carney recently visited North Georgetown Elementary and unveiled a strategic plan to address the educational needs of Delaware’s increasing population of students who do not speak English as a first language.
“Our challenge is to come up with a state plan to meet these students where they are and take it forward to increase literacy and graduation rates,” he said.
The plan, which he said will be accomplished through a mixture of school district funding, referendums and state funds, if available, is intended to provide more support for English Language Learners and recognize their unique educational needs as a priority.
In the last 20 years, the number of students who do not speak English when they start school has increased by 433 percent, said Carney.

Maybe just send them back to the country that understands their language, OR make them learn ours at their own expense. After all, if they work for it, it's more rewarding to them, right?
