Will the children  make it alive to the next border with so many more to  cross? Will they really eventually meet up with family? Or  is this pure folly? Will these children be able to go to  school for an equitable education and have a much better  life than their parents could ever imagine? More important  are the implications for U.S. schools: how are they  managing the sudden influx of children refugees who are  road weary and expected to participate in school structures  seamlessly? Many are not aware that, linguistically, these  children may not be Spanish-speaking, but only communicate  in their own indigenous language"--Provided by publisher.},
