[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, you are missing the point.  It isn't about Chinese or Spanish or French.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with the language learning.  It has to do with the idea that you have separated out [b]students who seem to be struggling[/b] and put them all together into one class.  What kinds of experiences are these students receiving in the lower track?  Socially, emotionally, academically, there are no peer models for high expectations. [/quote]

They don't "seem" to be struggling.  They ARE struggling, and they are doing so despite every intervention (small group learning, after school tutoring, booster groups, specialized teachers, etc.).

Children who can't speak Chinese in the United States are not doomed to jail.  Children who can't read in English in 4th grade, are.

It's really that simple.  In your quest to steal 2.5 days of English instructional time from them, you are suggesting dooming them to a life of difficulty.  But, why should you care?  They're not your children, after all.  It'll just grease the chip on your shoulder.[/quote]
