[quote=Anonymous]Say all you want, folks, but this is a VERY inefficient use of time. If one child requires that much assistance, s/he is not in the right setting. While we preach about least restrictive environments, the other children in the class are losing instructional time. Add up the minutes. ESOL classes are leveled. If a child doesn't know any English, s/he is not mainstreamed in the core content areas. Electives, like PE and art, can more easily accommodate second language learners. But core subjects that are tested are high-stakes. What about reading groups in this case? Understanding the nuances of a text - both fiction and non-fiction - isn't easy if the language is unknown to the reader.[/quote]
