[quote=Anonymous]The scenario you suggest seems a little unlikely. It might be that your school may not be majority white, so your kid might be in the minority. If that bothers you, then there is not much to say - go move to a majority white area, but be honest with yourself about why you are bothered. Just being in the racial or ethnic minority does not mean that the classroom teachers will ignore your kid and focus only on ESL kids. First, not all Hispanic kids require ESL services - many are already fluent in English. Second, as a general matter, ESL has special instructors. At least at our school where there are ESL kids, they have specialist instructors who work with them in a pull out situations and/or as assistants in the classroom. The classroom teachers teach the same curriculum as teachers all over the district at the same pace. [/quote]
