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.

That's why I find it pretty sad, that the school system can't be bothered to post on their OWN website that they need specific volunteers.
And - I don't know how people who can't speak Spanish fluently, are going to tutor kids who only speak Spanish. This is just significantly sad and pathetic. If you're going to teach kids English, you NEED to understand THEM.
