"As Canada’s refugee and immigrant population continues to grow, the nation’s schools are facing many of the same issues that U.S. schools are facing when it comes to educating students with little or no educational background. The challenge isn't simply a question of teaching students with interrupted schooling how to read or speak English, however; these are students who may also experience a high incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder, struggle with 'cultural adjustment' or identity issues and need intensive literacy and content instruction as well as an introduction to the basics of the American school/classroom culture." (Kristina Robertson & Susan Lafond)

"And the thing that's really, uh, slick about whiteness, if you will, is that most of the benefits can be obtained without ever doing anything personally. For whites, they are getting the spoils of a racist system, even if they are not personally racist." (Powell)

Teachers as communication: they need to know how to “structure [the] language to speak and write so their students can understand them, and they must be able to understand what their students are saying”

Teachers as educators: “teachers need to select or modify the language used instruction (written or oral) to make complex content-area concepts comprehensible to ELLs at different English proficiency levels

Teachers as evaluators: “when educators mistake language differences or English language development issues for cognitive deficiencies, many ELLs and speakers of nonstandard varieties of English are inappropriately placed in special education or provided with inappropriate and ineffective interventions.”

Teachers as an educational human being: “understand the role of language in education and know something about the differences between the structure of English and that of other languages” (utilizing moral high-ground discrepancy to best address and support a student)

Teachers as agent of socialization: “culture of the school vastly different from the culture of their home… first contact with the social world outside the home and even, among ELLs, their first contact with English” (properly introduce in a controlled setting/classroom the norms of society and socialize them)

“all classrooms are language environments…teachers need to ‘understand language as an integral element in the content they teach, the contributions that their students make in the classroom, and how these students participate in lessons and activities’”(Bailey, Burkett, & Freeman, 2008, pg. 609)

“In 1968, President Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act. For the first time, the racial language was removed from the federal housing policy. Non-white families began moving into traditional white communities in numbers.” (39:40) Realtors would “block-bust” prospective clients by frightening white property owners to sell their properties for less, then the agents would resell the house at an inflated price. This example of housing collusion is the originator of the current method of gentrification in specific urban locations throughout the United States.

The documentary did open my eyes to a different interpretation of what constitutes a citizen, and the unfairness of how the law has not assisted with this issue. Each participant in this documentary has a different vantage point. From the college graduate who cannot use his degree and works construction to the high school leader who cannot follow his desire to join the armed forces and other well-educated scholars who have followed the educational expectation: they all hit a roadblock; the legal paperwork for legal status. The approach of the film was to gain some empathy for this small population. The film follows the underrepresented, the few that could do so much with so little, who are now at the mercy of legislation. It exemplified humanity through undocumented people.

Students with Interrupted Formal Education will mostly come from the undereducated country and lack basic instructional knowledge: the ability to count, hold a pencil, or use a computer. Like interviewing to gauge language ability, during the same interaction, gauge for the proficiency of institutional knowledge. By figuring out the length of education history, the teacher can focus on “filling in the gaps.”

The United States’ Immigration issue is not a linear concern, rather a multifaceted evolved dilemma where a newly open-minded approach is best suited to rectify this issue: no all immigrants are criminal, even though they committed a crime at a young age without knowledge of a criminal mindset. The United States’ Government needs to address it accordingly, view immigration for what it is: evolved into different categorical circumstances.
