Hang on, it's a really bad thing as far as you're concerned, bad enough to mention it as a reason why immigration is bad, yet you aren't bothered enough to discuss the matter with the school itself?
How very interesting.

Oh with regards to the express article, did you read it as "HALF of all school children in many of Britain's biggest cities do not speak English as their first language, an alarming report has revealed"

Or did you drop the "many of Britain's biggest cities" because it's a bit obvious that big cities would have large non-native populations forgetting that it says "many" rather than "all" or "most", and also forget that if English isn't someone's first language, it doesn't mean they aren't fluent in it?
