Hispanics & Catholic schools | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I would not be at all sanguine about any statistic showing English speaking at home - as these are most likely families who have been here for fifty to a hundred years, or more.  I don't believe that training non-immigrants to teach the large immigrant population will work.  Instead, we need teachers, principals and priests that the people can identify with.  We need missionary churches and teachers from Mexico and Central America.  Let them go through learning American English with their students and parishoners and experience with them the hatred some whites have for immigrants.  Only then will they be an attraction to what will likely be charter schools, unless we can tax the richer diocese to offer free or very reduced price tuition (which would cover religious education that cannot be state funded).
