The tutors that work with Mexican students in the Bronx are noticing a lack of homework in their students, something they believe will affect their preparation for a professional career.

Angelo Cabrera, director of the Mexican American Student Alliance, says there are concerns over Mexicans students at different grade levels not having homework to continue learning after school.

Cabrera said that the lack of homework to support the learning of immigrant and Mexican-American children is a problem detected through its organization’s programs in the Bronx.

“It is a delicate issue because we are talking about Mexican children being left behind in their schooling,” Cabrera said, who said that the lack of school funding for Mexican children is creating a deficiency in that group of students.

He added that in the next few days they will undertake a series of actions to request that city education authorities revise the mechanisms that are being used in the public schools in the Bronx and specify the criteria for assigning homework to this group of students, he said, because it is the right of all students to have equality in their educational opportunities.
