Description:
"A esta hora conversamos", a radio program produced by the Longhorn Radio Network, includes interviews, music, and informational programs related to the Mexican American community and their concerns. Program summary: Alma Diaz interviews the principal of George I. Sanchez elementary school, Andres Guerrero, about the federal budget cuts impacting education Titles like Title 1: Migrant program and Title 2: Bilingual education program. Guerrero discusses why migrant students need Title 1 and Title 7 and the impact of budget cuts. Guerrero speaks about the migrant student's economic condition, which impacts their English learning. Many students' families lack financial stability, therefore not allowing the children to have the same home experiences that other children receive, like going to museums, aquariums, etc. Students gain educational experiences from schools, which the budget cuts would negatively impact. Additionally, the Title 1 and Title 7 cut will have a future impact on students, such as high drop-out rates, not getting lucrative jobs, and less interest in attending higher education. Guerrero addresses people who don't support bilingual education by stating that these program cuts will affect the average student since there won't be Title 1 teachers assisting the homeroom teachers thus, all students won't receive specialized attention. . Broadcast date: 1981-10-23.
