At one school, dozens of students need bilingual services--but 1 teacher and 2 custodians translate for the whole building.
At others, students have to rely on translation apps.
“I want to learn,” one of the students said.
Deeply reported story by @mina_bloom_ & @reemadamin:
When we began location sharing, it was about me knowing where the kids were. I did not consider the ramifications of them also knowing where I am at all times.
