[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my review of Clarksburg ES it statistics, it seems that every single person of hispanic descent is labeled as ESOL (I think there were 33 hispanic kids and 34 ESOL). Is the label automatic if you are of hispanic descent?? Will my child will be labeled ESOL despite being born in the U.S. of two highly educated parents who were raised in the U.S. because of her hispanic background and the fact that I am trying to teach her spanish and french? When I started school, my parents had to fight to keep me out of bilingual education and I really saw the difference between myself and the other students who spent their early years in bilungual education.  Those kids were done a disserve by being taught by someone that barely knew english and they were not prepared for HS not to mention college.  I guess my main question is what does this designation mean? Will she be pulled out of class for remedial lessons despite the fact that she is being raised in a household that teaches her standard american english (I think that's the way MoCounty describes it)?

That is impossible.  You read the stats incorrectly.[/quote]
