576 Words3 Pages

Since I just came to America from Yemen a couple months ago I thought it would be a good idea to compare and contrast American schools with Yemeni schools. All my life, up until October 24, 2015, I have spoken Arabic, written in Arabic, and studied in Arabic. Coming to America and being pushed to learn a new language has been difficult. This change has made me notice big differences between the teachers, students and the workload given in American and Yemeni schools.

    Imagine the United States in its near future: while a select few successful, affluent and influential people take power over the rest of the country and essentially control the way it operates domestically and internationally, the remainder of the population remains at a state comparable to the Great Depression in the 1930s, where unemployment rates are high, few unskilled jobs are available to the public, and the majority of urban residents are forced to rely on soup kitchens and live in shantytowns. The state of most United States schools today is absolutely atrocious, and should they continue to educate the modern generation of children and teens, a dystopian society is bound to arise in what is now considered one of the most powerful and

Several school districts across the nation have implemented dual language immersion programs in their elementary schools.
