Just an aside to further assuage your fears, it looks like that translator’s work has paid off. CIF Southern section just released the academic champions.
Redhawk’s high school (great oak) ran off with 4 of the 22 academic awards, the most of any school in Southern California including private schools (actually they tied with dos pueblos of goleta the #1 academic school in santa barbara county, last year we beat them for football grades, the two schools usually duke it out for academic honors in many sports and combined for more than 1/3 of the large school awards in so cal). CIF has san diego in a separate grouping, it makes little sense but everything in So Cal is combined, except San Diego is on it’s own, so on the list I linked, the school called “San Marcos” is actually in Santa Barbara.
The point is, seeing a translator at parent/teacher night is not an determining factor in gauging social deacy of a community or a school district (albeit, the economy everywhere is hurting). Harry, you are a nice guy, but I think I win this argument, you can have the next one.
