H.R. 3892 emphasizes mastering English as quickly as possible at the expense of academic and analytical skills. Under the gentlemans bill. schools would be required to focus solely on teaching LEP students to learn English. What about the essentials of the art of learning? Problem number 3: H.R. 3892 repeals the Immigrant Education Act and replaces it with a loosely structured block grant to States based on the number of LEP immigrant children in their State. Under this proposal. needy school districts will receive even less money. as the bill does not require States to distribute funds in accordance with need nor merit. Problem number 4: The bill violates the civil rights of languageminority children.
