Letters: Supplemental education pays dividends in the long run
"The Aug. 10 article has a hopeful message suggesting that educators in California are determined to make sure that our students have every opportunity to be competent in this important skill."
"There is a close association between literacy and juvenile and adult crime."
"Supplemental programming can be expensive but cheap in comparison to the long-term costs of not providing it."
"H-1B advocates claim that there are no American workers educated to fill needed jobs."
"Companies that take on H-1B visa workers are supposed to pay into a job-training fund for Americans."
California educators are focused on improving student literacy to enhance skills and reduce crime. There is a dire need for supplemental education programs to support K-12 students, especially those facing learning challenges. These programs, while costly, are essential to prevent longer-term societal costs due to literacy issues. The H-1B visa program is highlighted as a source of concern, where claims of a skills gap for American workers are questioned. There are allegations that H-1B workers are often exploited, leading to modern forms of servitude within the tech sector.
