[quote=Anonymous]If a child from a dual language home ends up with difficulties in reading and writing, you can't necessarily rule out that it isn't due to early language development. You also can't just declare them to have a learning disability. Special education testing and services can be more expensive and invasive than having the ESOL program monitor the student's literacy development. I'm a native English speaking, white American ESOL teacher. My students are blown away that my children are ESOL because my husband is from German and we have a bilingual household. My 1st grader is a Level 6 B. He'll have WIDA testing again this year and will likely be exited. ESOL does not always mean low SES. We live in a diverse and transient area. There will always be multi-lingual kids in our schools.[/quote]
