Honestly, this is clearly a school issue then.  I have two kids. One AAP and the other gen ed. They BOTH did vocab, book clubs and fun projects. They both also had critical and creative thinking lessons. You clearly need to address these concerns with your principal. [/quote]

Of course it's a school issue.  Schools with low FARMS and low ESOL populations can actually teach in gen ed.  Schools with higher ones can't.  Unfortunately, thanks to No Child Left Behind, schools are rated based on whether the bottom kids can meet a fairly low benchmark.  So they focus all of their efforts on helping the bottom kids pass the SOL rather than doing much of anything for the kids who were already going to pass the SOL.  [/quote]

Well this is what you get with open borders. We have such a large population of illegal immigrants who can't read or write in any language settling here it is inevitable that our schools would tank.[/quote]

OK, racist.  That is actually not true.  At my kids' school, there are lots of ESOL kids and they are from all over the world and I don't know of any that are undocumented (I'm sure there are some, but it's not the majority).  [/quote]

Yay, ESOL is full of diplomats’ kids and World Bank employee kids and international law firm partners totally have partner’s kids in ESOL[/quote]
