Main Street School House

The whole idea of serving a popualion of immigrants that isfaced with all the major challenges of the languaguage, financial difficulties is incredible. We need many more of these schools and I was surprised when Karen said she has made multiple attempts to get state funding  to no avail. It was interesting to know that she also works with students who cannot learn English at a fast pace in a traditional high school. These students just don't graduate with a high school, but this school offers programs that prepare them for college. Another great aspect about the school is that it provides a less indimidating environment for people of all age groups, mostly to adults who are past school age and want an educadtion. I also like the fact that it can sevice an entire family at once. The after shool reading programs will serve as great enrichment for all grade-level kids
