[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an ESOL teacher and our principal always wants our input on students who would benefit from GT classes. Apparently they are underrepresented in GT.[/quote] eSOL grads are needed in GT or current ESOL kids are wanted in GT?[/quote] The assumption on dekum is frequently that ESOL kids are dumb or low performing but the reality is that being bilingual or in some cases by literate does not make you less intelligent it often makes you more intelligent ( which is why many of the language immersion programs have waiting lists). It can be very normal for kids to lag behind their peers due to language Gap and then succeed and exceed them once they have the language skills necessary. [/quote]
