This week's article from the LA School Report interviews an LAUSD parent who expresses the importance of getting parents involved at schools so that all parents are aware of the importance of getting their kids reclassified if English is not their native language. Students need to be reclassified before high school so that they can take the A-G classes required to apply to college. She also discusses the issue of safety and how her kids don't want to go to school because they feel unsafe due to violence in the surrounding area. How can we help LAUSD schools better inform parents about reclassification? How can we help with the reclassification process? What can we do to help kids feel safer at school?
