You might want to familiarize with ESOL in Fairfax County and how it works before saying things like this.  In Fairfax County, students who know little to no English are in their own separate ESOL classes.  They are not just thrown in with the general population for mainstream teachers to deal with.  It is not until they have at least an intermediate level of English, that they go into mainstream classes where they generally are some of the top students in the class - IMO because they have worked so hard to get there.  We do have students who are beginning students of English and basically illiterate in their native language and they will never move into mainstream classes because they don't have the skills to do so (this is in high school).  Usually they end up dropping out because of their age or just general frustration.  Fairfax County is actually very strict about the skills ESOL students need to go to mainstream classes - much more so than other counties in the area.  [/quote]

Don't you think an intermediate level is English is too low to be put in general mainstream classes? Students should have mastered the language. Otherwise, I can see where they hold the whole class back. [b]You can't tell me that all the ESOL students don't cost Fairfax County a lot of money and time[/b]. [/quote]

ALL students cost Fairfax County a lot of money and time. Are you trying to say that ESOL students do not deserve the money and time because English is not their first language? [/quote]
