Without them there is just babysitting and babysitting is not education. That is true nationwide, it has nothing to do with immigration or how many people in a classroom can't speak English. As you say, that hardly exists at all in this county. But take out the TAs for a day or two and you either close the schools or sit the children down in front of DVDs without even allowing them out at break time because there is no supervision.
