[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers know. Anyone who has been teaching for 10+ years has seen decline. Teachers are told to “differentiate” instruction. It’s possible, but it is causing many talented, hard-working teachers to leave the profession. It is next to impossible to meet the needs of all the learners in a given classroom - especially when some of them do not even speak the language. [b]Not only do many of these students not speak English, many are illiterate in their native tongue[/b]. There is no way I could be an effective teacher today. ~ Former FCPS teacher [/quote] Actually, this is key. Its impossible to teach second language literacy without a solid foundation in the first. VA has a great ESOL track, but that's different from teaching basic literacy to a teen, plus academic content, plus second language. We are asking a lot of schools and teachers. These students need their own program. [/quote]
