In her Learning the Language blog, Lesli Maxwell writes about demographic projections related to English language learners: ELLs to Keep Increasing as K-12 Schools Cross ‘Majority-Minority’ Threshold.  The 2014-15 school year is projected to be the year that White students fall below 50% of the U.S. K-12 population.  As Maxwell also reports, “By 2050, 34 percent of U.S. children younger than 17 will either be immigrants themselves or the children of at least one parent who is an immigrant, according to projections from the Pew Research Center.”
