These kids will tend to have a difficulty speaking English. If the student and the teacher cannot communicate, then it is going to be that much harder for the student to understand the subject matter. If the parents would practice speaking English with their children, then that would prepare the student for schooling. However, most of the student s parents also lack English-speaking abilities, so it is going to be up to the school to teach these students how to read, write, and speak the English language. Teachers have a very difficult job when it comes to providing an equal education for all students.
Research shows that parent involvement is key when it comes to childhood education.
If a student's parents are not willing to help out at home the chances that the student will be successful with their education are very slim. The language barrier that stands between teacher and student also makes it very difficult sometimes. Because the number of minority students is on the rise, teachers need to learn how to teach these students, even if the parents are not there to help because of minimal education or language barriers. Every student should feel like the teacher is pushing for his or her success. All in all, in order to have a successful classroom, teachers should try to get the parents involved as much as possible.
