[quote=Anonymous]Our daughter is slated for a title one public school that is not very diverse and serves a large ESOL population.

We have heard mixed stories about how this works out socially and academically for children who are coming into the school with more advantages, for instance, already being fluent in English.

We want to go to the school and observe a kindergarten class, in order to get a feel for the environment, and see how the teachers differentiate instruction.

Our primary concern is that instruction will be focused on learning English and basics that DD will already know on day one. I think it is good that the tour will be midway through the year so we can see what they are working on 5 months in.

There are no regularly scheduled tours, it would just be me, dh and the AP. It feels like an awkward situation, the request in itself seems to imply that we think the school is not up to snuff, right? I don't want the AP to feel insulted that we question weather or not this is the right school for us, but I don't want to enroll blindly, or even worse, not enroll in good a school because we assumed it wouldn't be good for dd with no actual information.

Please help me with some things to say when requesting the tour and while on the tour. [/quote]
