[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this is a troll post or not. But this is a disservice for those non-English speakers.  Not only do they not understand a word of what’s happening, but that takes a hit on their self-esteem, makes them feel self-conscious and socially awkward. It’s such a bad idea. [/quote]

It has always worked like this, PP and OP. You get pull out services. The rest of the time you're with your class. It's not perfect but it makes for rapid integration.

As a foreigner myself, I can tell you that you wouldn't get better services in other countries' public school systems!
I lived in many different countries as a child, due to my father's work, and I had to quickly learn the language in those locations where there were no private international schools. One location in the middle of nowhere had zero accommodations for foreign students. A kind teacher kept me at lunch and taught me to read in the local language, entirely of her own volition. Some expensive private international schools put foreign kids in parallel language classes for one year to teach them the basics of vocab and grammar. But the rest of the classes are with the regular group.
