Education For Latinx in the U.S.

The most difficult obstacle that most Latinx people need to overcome is the language barrier between English and Spanish. From experience in trying to teach it to a lot of my cousins, English is an especially difficult language to learn due to the fact that there are many inconsistencies. So already immigrant children and adults are at a disadvantage when it comes to attaining a certain level of knowledge or succeeding in school. Another issue is the education system in inner-city areas. To put it bluntly, as possible, the system does not care about these immigrants and would rather pass them early on without giving them proper instruction on the English language and any subject at that. They view these kids as a lost cause and only give them As so that when they arrive at high school they are all of a sudden failing all their classes. To add more fuel to the flame, generally public high school teachers in the city also do not care enough to put the extra mile in to help these kids with disadvantages. They would rather fail them and leave it up to them to make some sort of living with barely a high school degree.
All these examples I have witnessed happened to cousins that were living with me. People that I consider to be my siblings, and even though I tried to help, there is only so much one kid can do especially when I was trying to explain concepts that I was years away from learning still. Now they work difficult jobs because of the lack of care from the education system. They do not put an emphasis on trying to help these kids. Reading about Miguel and watching the movie "Precious Education" made me realize the similar experiences most immigrants from Latinx countries go through but also the distinct differences. There is a lot of work to be done within the education system to guarantee the success for Latinx students.
