The document discusses the education of immigrant students in a globalized world. Historically, immigrant students often did not receive the same education as native students due to inconsistent views of immigration. As a result, immigrant parents sometimes established their own schools to maintain their culture and language. While common schools aimed to integrate students and teach shared values, they did not always accommodate immigrant cultures. Immigrant students faced challenges like language barriers, cultural differences, and segregation. Today, globalization both challenges and benefits education by encouraging diversity but also viewing school as a commodity. The document argues schools should accommodate diversity to benefit all students.

2. Immigrant students have not always received the same education as native or majority students due to the inconsistent views of immigration. Parents of immigrant students often established their own schools to ensure retention of their language, culture, and religion (McAndrews, 2007).

3. Ethnospecific institutions were created due to the emerging ideas that public schools were not preparing minority students properly. Common schools provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed and social interactions for growth, but are not specifically geared toward one culture or minority.

4. According to McAndrew’s essay, “ Common schools were seen as playing a double role in the integration of newcomers; one on hand, they propagated an explicit curriculum, which consisted of shared values and minimal knowledge needed to be a productive member of society; on the other, they were vehicles for intergroup contact and friendships among children at an early age when identities and attitudes are developed” (Suarez- Orozco 2007, p. 234).

5. Immigrant students have faced many challenges in public education systems including; language barriers, culture differences, stereotyping, and at one time, segregation In the past, active segregation of minority students was a common practice, but immigrant parents often established their own schools to ensure their language, culture, and religion was not lost

6. In today’s globalized world, we are striving for cultural integration and equal education for all students. “ Globalization—which has weakened the nation-state, heightened the importance of individual choice, and encouraged a tendency to look at education as a global market commodity—has certainly played a role in school segregation.

7. Globalization also holds benefits for today’s students; allowing access to an international network and greater recognition of immigrant languages. Language diversity in school systems can benefit all students and influence positive social communication. This segregation between immigrant and native students is lessened when school systems recognize the diversity.

8. Accommodation of diversity is needed in schools in order to benefit all students involved. The incorporation of immigrant cultures, through practices that meet the needs of all students, is a positive way to teach a diverse student population.
