Many of the students in the halls at Wood’s Mill High School seem different this year — at least for those who are familiar with them.Gay Maehrlein is an English teacher at Wood’s Mill and said she hasn’t seen as much motivation, especially from the Hispanic students, as she has seen so far this year.“It’s night and day,” she said. “I have kids completing classes when last year we couldn’t even get them to sit down.” The catalyst, she said, came over the summer when President Barack Obama announced his plan to bypass Congress and enact parts of the DREAM Act — legislation that would have provided a pathway to citizenship for young illegal immigrants who went to college or served in the military.The executive order will allow hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants to remain in the nation and have a chance to work, legally.They will be able to avoid deportation if they can prove they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED or served in the military.
