immersion programs and immersion settings typically are doing about 10% better on standardized testsn children in mono lingual settings. there's a plethora of research on this and just about every country and from every perspective that you can imagine that proves that immersion learning, dual language learning increases brain webbing, increases intellectual capacity. >> reporter: sarah judson is more than pleased with the impact the classes have had on her daughter rachael. >> our daughter and her friends in french immersion are so open to the world. they are very interested in other countries, what it's like in other countries, what time is it in other countries? you know, basic things and things that are more advanced. because most of their teachers have been from french-speaking countries, they have learned a lot about those cultures. i think whenever they're adults they are really going to be ready for living in a global world. >> reporter: a new state law passed by the legislature this year requires expansion of french immersion programs into 22 south louisiana parishes by the

kids and kids in the immersion program are learning at the same levels. for sixth grade and upper grades, they are functioning at the same level academically at both languages. that has got to be a revolt. -- our goal. that is something we need to be monitoring and pushing on. i will make sure that we are looking at that. >> thank-you very much. that is why we are continuing to ask for real research about how students are doing in our english hathaway's. we have limited resources. we have limited teacher and monetary resources. we need to get the best thing for our money. the first district to push for start to become translated is a huge step forward for our district. i am proud to say our district did. also, an aging parents and how proud are we of our parents who are stepping up and voicing their concerns, requiring that the children are getting their educational rights met? >> i want to take you back on the music. i want to give you a brief history of the advocacy. we have a translation office, but it is severely underfunded before and even now. it to

the idea is to create a complete fully immersive interactive experience that involves visuals, musicnteractivity. this is an rc robotic claw. my high school science teacher made me what i am today. our science teacher helped us build it. ♪ now i'm a geologist at chevron, and i get to help science teachers. it has four servo motors and a wireless microcontroller. over the last three years we've put nearly 100 million dollars into american education. that's thousands of kids learning to love science. ♪ isn't that cool? and that's pretty cool. ♪ ♪ >>> welcome to biofilia. the love of nature and all her manifestations. >> it's a unique combination of media. you know, ba york had this vision, her first six albums were about herself, about her and her own emotional experiences in life. and for her seventh album she wanted to do something different. so, the topic she chose outside of herself was everything else in the whole universe. quite ambitious. >> you will experience how the three come together. nature, music, technology. listen, learn, and create. >> as executive producer of biofila

this is supposed to be a spanish immersion program. when i approached a teacher had asked her why there is only two hours of spanish, she said, let me talk to the principal and get back to you in. i have not heard anything since. another thing i would like to bring up is that they are doing the mediation's at the school. they are a waste of time. they do not working. they tell parents the war -- that of parents that want to work with community and everything, but as soon as the meeting is out, it is the same thing. they do not follow sig, there has been no change since these meetings have been going on. there have been two presently, and i have not seen anything. there was an incident with my son this week and i was not called. they stated in the meeting that the principle is irresponsible -- the principal is responsible for issues with our kids. i did not get a phone call. i stand strong saying that i think the principle should be removed from the school. that is for the community at our school. thank you. president mendoza: thank you

the teaching in the spanish immersion classes is not happening. kids are not learning spanish. >> [speaking in spanish] >> homework is in english. work is in english. almost all her staff around her speaks english only. >> [speaking in spanish] >> so some of the staff that do speak spanish do not pay attention. i can mention names as i did. president mendoza: you get two minutes for translation. >> [speaking in spanish] >> i had a problem four months ago. and in this school, they do not tell you the problems that happen. >> [speaking in spanish] >> so when silent lunch happens, we get no notification. we have no way of finding out why is our son or why did our son spend the lunch in silent lunch. >> [speaking in spanish] >> so as it has been mentioned, kids are not allowed to go to the bathroom. my daughter got her period and she got herself stained and she had to remain like that because she was not allowed to go. >> [speaking in spanish] >> i have no problem with anybody in particular. the issue that they do not notify the parents of what is goi

rescue operations still ongoing but we're five hours have passed now since the oil rig capsized immersion we should confirm that sixty seven people were on board fourteen of them passengers some have been pulled from the water along but many of the majority still missing we've spoken to an emergency ministry spokesperson for more. than. fourteen people have been rescued so far with two of them in a critical condition two people have been sports on the surface of the sea that have pizza be dead they are being recovered now the weather conditions in the area are very brave strong winds with waves up to five meters. one plane has been deployed to aid in this search and rescue operation as a company to helicopters and also been dispatched a number of ships ships in the sea in a presence scouring the sea for signs of life and we've spoken to someone who's aiding in the search and rescue operation who described the scene for us. there are safety suits floating around the area but there are new people in them here means the crew was unable to get down to the lifeboats the boats were washed away

i picked that school especially for their immersion program, because i wanted them to speak spanish. when they speak spanish, we do not understand them very well. thank you for your time. >> good evening, everybody. i have three kids at paul revere. i have the same problem that all the parents have. the principal knows that i am here and i'm coming with other parents to let you know that my kids have been traumatized with all of the punishment that he is receiving. the principal is complaining that we do not go to the meetings, but when we go to the meetings, she does not listen to us and sometimes we want to shake her hand and she does not shake our hands. i would ask that you do something about it to resolve this problem, not just for the parents or the teachers, but for the kids. [speaking spanish] i do not think it is fair that she told my kid that if you do not behavior self, you should leave and go somewhere else. we tried to talk to her and make an appointment but we haven't been able to. [speaking spanish] i would like that you do something about it, maybe replace her with so

i have been immersed in the medical cannabis community in the bay area and i am familiar with the legal, public health issues. for the past two years, i was working with an ngo that focused on drug policy reform. i also received my master's degree in human rights and took over many at this see initiatives -- at the seat initiatives -- advocacy the initiatives. i have been a regular member of the task force. when we were forced to close, i was actually the community out reached for ctenophore an organization to establish good will relationships with many entities in the neighborhood and community members of the mission neighborhood including the pta, the health center, and various other charities and organizations. i hope that you will perceive me as the ideal candidate. >> are there any questions? thank you. we did here marquis ausby a few weeks ago however, you can come up and say a few words. >> hello, i am a patient advocate. i am also a member of students for medical cannabis protections. i have been working with the medical cannabis taskforce since i became a patient earlier this y

i really immersed myself in the sport -- >> jimmy: good, i love that you did that.es square with your mom, and you see a giant billboard, right? and mom goes, "you gotta get a picture in front of it." ah, there you go. [ laughter ] >> oh mom's embarrassing. >> jimmy: no, that's the best, come on. [ applause ] how cute is that? >> i'm doing the point and everything. >> jimmy: yeah, you're pointing at yourself, i love it. your mom is so proud that she's screamed, "that's my daughter!" >> i was mortified. i was -- i took them to a broadway show. my family was visiting. and she was like, "oh, doll, we just -- oh, we have to get a picture." i was like, "no mom, we're not getting a picture." she was like, "it will take two seconds." and i was like, "quick," of course it wasn't two seconds. it was that photo, then there was like a group shot in front of it and then like -- >> jimmy: yeah. then the camera didn't work. >> i was dying. i was like, "thanks, way to feed me to the wolves." >> jimmy: i would do that with my mom -- >> yeah, the camera doesn't work. >> jimmy: quick

the underrim pocket, pull down the discreet side blinders, drop the patented lens and you are now immersed in a private multimedia entertainment zone, and the rest of the world none the wiser. ha, oh, that malcolm is in the middle again. and, folks, as the ad points out, you can wear it anywhere, to the airport, in front of your computer, during your daily commute, even at the beach. great idea because nothing relaxes me quite like the sound of crashing waves on hawaii 5-0. plus it's incrediblebly stylish. >> order your own tv hat or visor in red, white, blue, khaki or camo. >> stephen: yes, camo, so you can watch tv while you're hunting. and unlike most cheapo hat makers, the good folks at tv hat do not skimp on the brim. this baby keeps the sun out of your eyes, off your legs and gives you enough shadow to harvest mushrooms. but the tree genius of tv hat is that it lets you focus on what matters most by blocking out unnecessary distractions, like your spouse or your children. so they really should consider a version with an ipad facing out so you can watch a yankees' game while you play

(laughter) >> jon: it was upsetting. they weren't alone. when cane dropped out of the race i felt despondent. i was depressed, i was losing all hope that my job would ever bring me joy again. and... (laughter). and then... >> we are just confirming that donald trump will moderate a republican debate on december 27 in des moines, iowa. >> jon: (whispering) thank you, jesus. (cheers and applause) you know, sometimes when god closes a door he opens a window! and sometimes standing outside that window a circus peanut wearing a badg

. >> when i was torn by war, i took a brush immersed in death, and drew a window on war's wall. i opened it, searching for something, but all i saw was another war and a mother weaving a shroud for the dead man still in her womb. there was a photograph of an iraqi boy on the front page of the "new york times". he sat on the edge of the truck, 8 or 9 years old, surrounded by his family, his father, mother , and 5 siblings were asleep. his head was buried in his hands. all the clouds of the world were waiting on the threshold of his eyes. the tall man wiped off the sweat and started digging the 7th grave. the next reader is going to be diane dupris. thank you. >> i'm going to read a few things that i wrote sitting in a hotel room in, oh, whatever year that was, 01, i guess, when we started bombing afghanistan. these are short poems on the afghan war. 1, small bones of mountain children in the snow. two, bags of rice burst open, burlap flaps in the wind. even the label, usa, is fading. three, we air drop transistor radios. can you eat them? will they keep you warm? this one is call
