(二) On the fourth floor of the elementary school, about 90 students gather on the
gym's hardwood floor. Basketball hoops hang at both ends of the room. But the
children aren’t here to play basketball—this is their classroom. Computers line the
hall, and chairs and desks are clustered across the worn-out floor.
As in many schools in New York City, recent waves of immigrants have forced
educators to cram students into any available space—including storage areas, large
closets and gyms. The crowded quarters have forced the school to take a more
communal approach to education. Instructors often have to merge their classes into
one room and team teach—with occasional personality clashes. There are other
difficulties as well. Teachers and administrators sometimes can’t communicate with
the students or their parents, and children who speak less common languages can
often wait months for the school to find someone capable of testing them.
The school is at the center of the day’s ethnic mix. The subway line running
through the area was nicknamed “The International Express” in a recent study. The
study said 17,200 immigrants from 112 countries settled in the neighborhood from
1983 to 1989, making it the most diverse area in the city. Instead of concentration on
American holidays and traditions that these students could hardly appreciate, the
group is more likely to learn about, say, Chinese New Year and other holidays
celebrated by the students’ families. At center court, a Chinese peacock hangs over a
banana tree.
