This story appeared in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday.  What a great idea and a win-win-win-win for all involved.  A local high school uses its bilingual students as interpreters/translators for non-English speaking parents and non-Spanish speaking teachers.  It has motivated the teenager featured to stay in school (a win for her) and provides a win for the parents, teachers, and students (a win x 4)!  See the link below for the full article.
