the newest, biggest digital divide?

I know it's spring break, but the front page article on the New York Times today is pretty relevant to our class.

It's more about "divides" and less about the "digital" aspect, but the ESOL courses could definitely be looked at as a type of technology. In the article, immigration (whether legal or illegal) is cited as the biggest rift in American education today in many school districts. I think it's interesting that we've been focusing a lot on geographical and income and racial differences, but Hylton High School in suburban Virginia proves that those differences aren't really the pressing problem anymore. Every Hylton student has access to the same education quality and same technologies (and same libraries)--EXCEPT those who can't speak English well. The article's author repeatedly mentions "segregation," and it definitely provides a lot to think about.
