Teachers Aides in classroom

Better pay for teachers and less administrators in central office.  [/quote]

Very expensive, but if we got rid of all the ESOL teachers, we would have the money to do this.  
And if the kids that can't speak English, don't learn then they can just keep repeating the same grade until they do.  Maybe their parents would actually take initiative to learn the language too.  [/quote]

Since ESOL is a special service, perhaps ESOL intervention should have a fee.  Remove ESOL from the free education conversation.   Unless there is a financial burden no one would  have any incentive to learn the language easy way. [/quote]
