Diversity Training II: How Labour's Mass Immigration polic..

'Schools are struggling to cope with an influx of students from
abroad, with many teachers facing classes in which a third of pupils
do not speak English as their first language, teachers’
representatives said yesterday.

The number of pupils who did not have English as their mother tongue
had risen by 66,000 in a year, the conference of the Association of
Teachers and Lecturers was told.

This could cause difficulties for teachers who did not always have the
resources and training to provide the support that youngsters needed
to integrate into the school system and to thrive academically. In
some instances it could result in very bright children who spoke up to
six languages � but not English � being placed in bottom sets for
academic subjects in which they would otherwise excel.'

Is it 'bigoted contempt' to conclude that 'generous empathy and
cosmoploitan pluralism' are actually creating more poblems than they
solve?
