In order to help the new immigrant students assimilate into a modern school, there should be a special class that helps them learn english. Not isolate them, just one specific class that will help them with the more basic concepts that we learned at an earlier stage. It would make them feel more confident and be a great help in their transition.
Here we could be a little more sympathetic towards them, since we live so far from the border we don't usually have to deal with this issue. We could create an enviroment that cares more about that particular section of the community. Just a small subtle change in the people surrounding them could make a huge difference in how they assimilate into our town.
We could also change the classes available to the rest of the students. Since it's not just mexican immigrants that we're talking about, we should have more foreign languages available to the rest of the student body so they may be able to meet on some middle ground.
