[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of these kids never wanted to be in school in the first place. They started school behind, whether because of language or circumstances, and find it frustrating and humiliating. Of course they are going to prefer not to go.[/quote] Unbelievable.[/quote] Ok, I see that I offended you. Well, I live in an area where the white students are generally well off and have highly educated parents, and the minority students are generally low-income and many are in ESOL. School is absolutely a frustrating and humiliating place for them when they arrive to kindergarten unable to read or fluently speak English, and their white classmates are reading chapter books and talking about their weekend trips to the beach and to ski. We are told to teach them all at their own levels so we differentiate all day, but I have no doubt that it has felt more comfortable to do school at home.[/quote]
