[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at Stuart and since the year has begun we have received nearly 100 level 1 ESOL students who are all freshman. Some come with courses from their home countries so they may be sophomores. Most are 14 and 15 when they register but we did have several who were weeks before turning 18 when they registered.

This happens every year at Stuart, [b]we especially hit hard in January and February when the central American school year ends.[/b] The problem is we can't hire staff in anticipation so by the end of the year our ESOL classes end up being close to 30 kids and we have to have teachers teach extra classes.

[b]This also effects the general education students because[b] t[/b]he team taught teachers get pulled from their classes.[/b] This means a team taught class is no longer team team taught and a general education teacher has the ESOL and gen Ed kids.

Oh, lovely, so they come up here on their school break for free English and meals do they? Meanwhile, they hand us the bill? [/quote]
