[quote=Anonymous]OP here - I'm Latina, grew up speaking both languages in the home, and wanted very much to share that language with my kid. Sadly, dyslexia has made that very difficult.

The ESOL comment is two fold - I was told by the reading specialist that the general reading needs of the classroom will be different and would be a bad fit. Also, child's class is currently 50% ESOL. The children all play together, have forged friendships, and there is a real sense of equity that I  really appreciate (especially since years ago, I was the little Latina kid in a sea of blonde haired kids). But despite multiple emails, texts, and printed invitations, we have never been able to bridge those friendships to relationships outside of school. It's just how it is. Social aspects when a kid's confidence is already low are an important factor.

As for the autistic comment, I was trying to be brief in explaining what my child's disability is. Sorry if that came across wrong.

Just wanted to clear that up. Thank you for the general feedback, it looks like we're just in a weird pocket with not a lot of clear options. [/quote]
