I find it interesting when working at a school that reverses the norm and noting the adjustments US born students make in classrooms where they are the minority (especially during the World Cup!). <br /><br />Thank you for your comment, I'm looking forward to reading your other books.Mr. Nautonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306447102220923922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550488736096334061.post-67982117013652341682010-07-02T09:33:49.939-07:002010-07-02T09:33:49.939-07:00Joel,

At school, students simply see these new classmates as odd; they don't understanding the challenges and traumas that defined these immigrant children. Many are fleeing political strife in their homelands and they have come to this country without parents. It is something to consider as Haitian refugees enter American classrooms.<br /><br />Thanks again for your interest and support.<br /><br />Best,<br />Fern Schumer Chapman<br />author of IS IT NIGHT OR DAY?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
