Prayerfull, I live in Cali too and I understand what you are talking about. My stepmother is a kindergarten teacher for the LA Unified School District. And I see the problem that you are talking about. But language barriers are not the only problem.
Class size plays a big part in the problem. When you have 35+ students (4 & 5 year olds) and 1 teacher; that's a big problem. How can a teacher make sure all of these children know what they are suppose to know by the end of the year? Our education system needs help.

I attended private schools for almost my whole life. Kindergarten aged children are at one of the most impressionable times of their lives. I think that being in a private school can be of benefit to your child. They go to school for the WHOLE day and are able to learn in a more structured setting. I'm not saying that you can't get this in a public school, but that all depends on where you live.

I have to say that I did benefit from the private school experience because it is a smaller more personalized setting. But just because you go to a private school does not mean that you automatically escape the same problems that are in the public school system.
