Scavenger Hunt Pt. 1

Miranda and I had actually went to the super old courthouse looking for this historical marker. We were wrong. Then we decided to go to the Nuecess county courthouse, and what-do-ya know, we found it. This historical marker lets know that the Corpus Christi Independent School System invested in a teacher that taught Mexican-American children English. After sucess they decided to purchase property  will the schools attendees on the rise and the you have the Cheston L. Heath School. I feel that this was what we had learned as Americanization. We are teaching immigrants and natives English so they can be more successful in our country. I think that this was a good idea, because with English in our community, communication would of been different. I do agree that this is a bad thing though, because English is the adapted language, and  many people have very little speaking capabilities of thier very own Mexican / Hispanic culture.
