[quote=Anonymous]Our experience in APS elementary has been that several of my son’s teachers have spoken multiple languages and he has met kids from different countries and gained an appreciation for their country and culture. He has also learned to be patient and helpful with kids who don’t speak fluent English. My kid is average and doesn’t need special attention and I don’t think having ELLs has had any negative impact - except perhaps jealousy that our family only speaks English and doesn’t move to a foreign country every 2-3 years. When they studied continents in kindergarten some kids had pictures of themselves at the pyramids in Egypt or at the Great Wall of China. At Ashlawn there are a lot of State Dept. families as well as LatinX students - both fluent and learning. In my son’s classes so far the main 2nd language is Spanish and there are fully bi-lingual classmates in most classes in addition to teachers. [/quote]
