[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]One of the biggest issues my child is experiencing is the constant class disruptions when ESOL teacher somes in and out of the classroom to pull the kids. [/b]

What do you mean by this?  I am an ESOL teacher and it might take 30 seconds to one minute to get the attention of my ESOL students and for them to leave the classroom.  They know when they see me appear at their door, they are to quietly stand up and leave the room.  When I drop them off, they enter the classroom in silence.  They sit next to a buddy who is directed by the teacher to tell them what is happening when they return (if the teacher asks them to do this).  We pull all of each grade's ESOL students at the same time every day.  For example, my colleague and I pull first grade at 9:15 every morning as morning announcements begin.  We pull second grade as they return from their resource class every day.[/quote]

As soon as the classroom door opens, it constitutes a disruption. At my daughter's school, there were 3 interruptions that happened in the morning. One of them was to pull special needs children, the other 2 were for ESOL kids. As soon as the classroom door opened, every kid in the classroom looked up and some of the kids went as far as to let the ESOL students know that it is time for them to leave. This is first grade.[/quote]
