[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ESOL keeps coming up. Would it be a horrible thing for them to have a dedicated ESOL class? Wouldn't it be more efficient and better serve them? And also students need to actually be held back if needed instead of just moved constantly forward. [/quote]

Exactly, as well as 3-4 levels of classes as PP said. Currently we just have regular and AAP in elementary, but we need at least one other level to differentiate between the disparate abilities of students. Also, there is no reason why schools cannot switch kids back and forth midway through the year, if a level is deemed inappropriate.

What is being done now is madness in terms of learning; most kids cannot learn much when the whole class is taught at exactly the same level. Group work by level is also minimal, which is another serious issue. Elementary kids have minimal opportunity in the classroom to work within a similar ability group.[/quote]

I guess this depends on your school. Our kids went to large schools with many students who learning English, but they were still in appropriae reading groups every year. [/quote]
