CARPENTERSVILLE, Illinois U.S.A. (2002)

Unfortunately, some Hispanic children in the USA are being passed from grade to grade without adequately learning what they should mainly due to their shortcomings with the English language.   Often the children do not get help with their homework and assignments from their parents because of their parent’s inability to adequately understand English.   Many of these children do learn to speak English but have difficulty reading and writing in English.

Educate the Children has been working with a school in Carpentersville, Illinois and has initiated an after school program where college students majoring in Education under the supervision of a Teacher are providing educational assistance to Hispanic children.   The students are taught English for an hour, given assistance with their homework for an hour and then have some recreation time while they wait for their parents to pick them up.
