Good story from NPR describing how the Republican presidential candidates have been open to limited Dream Act provisions that provide a path for immigrant children who were brought to the U.S. when they were very young children. The full DREAM Act (which is an acronym standing for "Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors" -- weird name) provides paths to undocumented youths aged 35 and under if they either serve in the military or go to college. Republican candidates Romney and Santorum are hardline and would only permit the military route, which severely constraints the intent of the DREAM Act as "many fewer would qualify for the military because of its strict educational and English-language requirements."

Every citizen is necessary to get the education and try to build up good carrier. Mostly student is making effort and try to build up the best carrier. People are nothing without education because they aren't dealing with any business properly.

I am a professor in the Lynch School of Education and Human Development at Boston College, and director of the Curriculum & Instruction doctoral program. I have served as an associate editor at Child Development, Applied Psycholinguistics, and an editor at Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools. I was a bilingual teacher in Detroit, MI and have worked in district, state, and nonprofit settings. I work with bilingual learners from multilingual homes in K-8 settings, thinking about language use and development, cross-linguistic relations, instructional interventions, and teacher practice. I've published a bunch of articles and book chapters, and have developed language and reading curricula. I always work in close collaboration with teachers to facilitate the translation of research to practice.
