- Summary
- Focusing on a prototypical public high school, this study reveals that over 20 percent of the school's students were born in another country, and over a third speak limited English or come from homes in which English is not spoken. Here is what it looks and feels like to go to school and to teach in a time of increasingly complex cultural relations.
