[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP who complained about educating ESL kids…. From my perspective, the issue is that we expect the schools to do all this, and do it on the schools dime. Along with feeding kids, providing mental health support, developmental therapies for kids who need them, making sure they are clothed, etc. Schools are the catch all social service for most poor kids and then people get mad when schools are spending so much money without better educational outcomes. If we had a more robust social service network in this country (including ESL support for kids outside the school system), schools could focus more on teaching. [/quote] I hear you about social services but ESL? That's a specific responsibility of the school system for which it receives significant amounts of funding. The question of whether it's enough funding is different, but to say it shouldn't be the system's responsibility at all is just xenophobia.[/quote]
