In Arizona in 2005. a Federal court cited the State of Arizona for contempt for failing over the course of the preceding 13 years to provide opportunities for Spanishlanguage students to learn English in the public schools. The court has been fining the State at least $500.000 a day until the problem is corrected and equal opportunities are provided to the 175.000 English language learner students estimated to be in Arizonas schools in And I personally understand the challenges of learning English as your second language. As I have said before. my wife was born of immigrant parents and English became her second language. My mother was born of immigrant parents. with English as her second language. Fortunately. they learned it as young people. But for adults learning English. it can be much harder.
