[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Sped students are getting more resources and help it's likely because parents of Sped students are more vocal and willing and able to advocate for their kids than the typical ELL parents are. Often ELL families are also low income whereas this is not true of Sped students. Sped kids come from all socioeconomic households.[/quote] We forget that in Bethesda, CCMD, and Potomac, there are MC and UMC ELLs. Most are from Israel, the former Soviet Union, and East Asia, but there are some who are Spanish speaking as well. And quite a few of those students are embassy kids who stay a year or two before returning to their home country.[/quote] Almost without exception kids who are embassy or foreign service kids from other countries already speak English quite well when they get here.[/quote] Can’t speak to all embassy kids, but I must have gotten all the exceptions every year as ESOL 2s.[/quote]
