[quote=Anonymous][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]
What is the school supposed to do? We have Spanish, Arabic, Amharic speaking students with various levels of English. They get some individual attention and services and extra help to learn to read. Their parents can get help in learning English as well. Communication from school is in at least two languages, sometimes more and a lot of the Chromebook app work is available in multiple languages. 
There is now Saturday school available as well. [/quote]

“Back in my day” they used to have an all esol classes. These classes were made up of all different languages, but would move at a slower pace so that the kids could understand the material. Eventually, once the kids learn English, they would graduate esol. The kids would learn both subject and the language. I remember having esol kids in my specials and advanced ESoL kids in with the general classes. I know there’s only so much the school can do.
