>Dominican Children in New York City Schools Face Two-Edged Sword of Difficulties
Posted by nick_niesen on October 27th Wholesale Tanoh Kpassagnon Jersey , 2010


Residents of the Dominican Republic, especially the impoverished ones, have long viewed the United States and especially New York City as a land of limitless wealth. All you have to do is live there for a few years, and you too will be wealthy.


This erroneous vision was fostered in the 1980s with the crack epidemic centered in Washington Heights, an area located north of New York City and predominantly populated by Dominican immigrants. Thousands of dollars in cash were sent back to the families, who still lived in the Dominican Republic.


Though the days of easy money have passed Wholesale Chris Conley Jersey , the Dominican poor still believe that, if only family member can reach the U.S. and remain for a few years, he or she could bring the entire family remaining in the Dominican Republic out of poverty. Thus, the Dominican Republic is the largest exporter of immigrants to the New York City schools. Dominican immigrants now comprise ten percent of the 1.1 million students in the New York City schools.


These young New York City schools immigrants face particularly difficult problems as they attempt to acclimate into American society. They face the pressures to integrate at school, while facing the pressures to remain the same at home. Parents too face challenges with the New York City schools.


The first problem is culture shock. In the Dominican Republic, children always must defer to their elders and hold their tongues Wholesale Mitch Morse Jersey , having no way to express their own feelings or opinions. In contrast, children quickly learn in the New York City schools that American children are vital members of society, like any adult. They realize that adults care what they think. They become more outspoken both at school and at home, finding the social freedoms compelling and liberating.


Parents feel themselves losing control of their children, who are shedding their cultural restrictions. They view New York City schools children as arrogant and flamboyant, with no respect for their elders. Such contrasting expectations between children and parents cause stress at home. Of course Wholesale Chris Jones Jersey , many parents blame the New York City schools for their children adopting these attributes, where they did not wish to send their children anyway.


The Dominican immigrant home environment is not always conducive to learning. For impoverished families in the Dominican Republic, education is not a priority, as it is with the wealthy families there. Though early schooling is free for children, it is seen as a costly endeavor for families just trying to make ends meet. Clothing for school, meals Wholesale Travis Kelce Jersey , school supplies, books, and transportation are luxuries for such families. According to the World Bank, 13 percent of children ages 7-14 work outside the home, rather than attend school. According to Unicef, 16 percent of children ages 10-17 are illiterate. Usually Wholesale Justin Houston Jersey , one or both parents have little or no education, due to less long-term educational exposure for children of poorer families. Is it any wonder they may resent the mandatory law for their children to attend the New York City schools?


Though cultural differences present a major obstacle, language is the biggest difficulty for these immigrant children in the New York City schools. According to Robert Mercedes, Principal of Middle School 390 in the Bronx and President of the Association of Dominican-American Supervisors and Administrators, Dominican children arrive at the New York City schools lacking the basic native-language skills of the Dominican Republic. This makes transitioning them into the English language even more difficult.


They feel like outsiders in the New York City schools. They are in a language and cultural isolation. They are generally dumped into bilingual classes at low-income schools, and feel more of a burden to the New York City schools than an equal to the other students. The victim mentality takes over for many of these youth Wholesale Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Jersey , who separate themselves into close-knit ethnic groups. They are especially vulnerable to street gang recruitment, which pervades the areas around the ghetto-like atmosphere of some of the New York City schools they attend.


On one side, the New York City schools are a haven of new opportunities for the Dominican children and their parents. Yet, these same opportunities can be the downfall of the immigrant family values and the children, as well. It is a dual-edged sword, afflicted with stressful difficulties and insurmountable obstacles for many.

Many of business customers ask us what is a 100 Number DID range and how do they work and how will they make us more efficient?

A 100 Number DID (Direct In Dial) Range is a series of 100 numbers that are allocated to ISDN Business phone lines. DID ranges can be added to ISDN 2 Wholesale Kareem Hunt Jersey , ISDN 10203 and ISDN Multi Line services.

The real advantage of a DID range is that even though you may only have 2, 4, 6 or 10 or more ISDN phone lines connected, you can be allocated a block of 100 numbers and this is known as a 100 number DID range. 100 Number DID ranges are a batch of 100 numbers starting with 00 and ending in 99. For example 0265641200 to 0265641299.

The main benefit of using a 100 number Direct In Dial range is that you don't need to have a full phone line for every employee. Using a DID range also means you can have multiple generic numbers allocated to departments such as accounts, sales, service etc as well as direct numbers for any employees needing them.

When a 100 number DID range is combined with PABX phone system functions such as line hunt and pre programmed call orienting are possible.

Eg a business has 25 staff Wholesale Patrick Mahomes II Jersey , an Accounts Department, A sales Department and Service Department. There are also 3 department heads, 6 sales staff and 7 Managers & Service staff that require a direct number but at no time is there eve.
