It should trouble all of us that a public school, per the OP doesn't have the resources to educate. Federal law requires, not optional, all students to receive instruction even if their primary home language is not English. This is ESL, English as secondary language, teaching. The goal is both to teach English while also providing basic educational skills in their home language while English is being learned.
Apparently Wildwood Middle School finds the resources for a full 13 sports not required athletic program. I support the availability of sports in the schools, but the first priority should be education.
