"School is the place where young people of all backgrounds come together. Do you think schools can help to integrate young immigrants?"

We often hear about problems which schools have with children of immigrants. In some urban areas there are schools with students from so many different cultures and countries that school life is really hard for students and teachers.

The main problem of the immigrants is their language. Only some children speak English well enough to be able to attend class and to do their schoolwork.

Another important point is religion. Students from different cultures and with different religions often don't respect each other. They have friends only out of their own ethnic group and fight against others.

Here school could help a lot to make the new start for immigrants easier. At first, schools should offer more additional English-courses for foreigners. Only if the students are able to understand English they'll be able to be successful at school and find new friends. To prevent conflicts between students from different minorities schools should teach the students to understand and to respect foreign customs and habits.

To sum up my results, I'd like to say that school plays the most important role in children's lives. So I think school also can help and even has to help young immigrants on their way into a new society.
