Teaching by the seat of the pants: Halifax classrooms struggle to incorporate immigrant students

This is a five minute documentary I produced for New Roots Radio about a classroom full of immigrant children in an underprivileged neighbourhood of Halifax. Many can't speak English. Some have fled bullets in their home countries. Some have been put back a grade in Canada, and their self-esteem eroded. And there are few provisions to help these students, beyond the sheer ingenuity of their teacher, and the goodwill of their classmates. Listen in to the grade three classroom of Fairview Heights Elementary, as kids from around the world talk about TV, homework and war.
