[quote=Anonymous]Legally, all of them should have been screened if something other than/in addition to English was listed on the home language survey. As a practical matter, if a parent speaking fluent English comes to school to register the child, a busy school registrar may not think to look at the form to see if the child should be screened. They should look, but things get overlooked. Then the child isn't flagged for testing, and no one ever looks again, unless the child is having difficulty speaking and understanding English, or is receiving other services. Sometimes parents don't fill out the forms the same way for each child. In one case I know about, mom filled out the form for child A and wrote "Spanish/English" for what language was spoken in the home, so that child got tested for ESOL. A few years later child #2 entered school and dad filled out the form and just wrote "English" so that child didn't get flagged for testing. [/quote]
