[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ESOL is now referred to as EML - Emergent Multilingual Learners. [/quote]

Does that mean they teach children how to speak languages other than English?[/quote]

Yes.  They teach the kids in Spanish AND in English.

Our MS teachers give out assignments in both languages.  Not all the assignments, but many of them are translated into Spanish.  Hence, multilingual.  [/quote]

Yes but they did not teach the students Spanish, the students came in with that knowledge, that asset. It came from their families. MCPS didn't teach it. You just HATE that that they have something you want.[/quote]

Nah, your assumptions are off base.  I’m good.  My kids have been doing Saturday school and have been learning our native language for years (not Spanish).  They’re multilingual.

But it’s crazy that MCPS budgets millions of dollars towards ESOL teachers and ESOL education.  Yet, they can’t find a way to offer foreign language instruction to elementary school aged kids.

My niece in a public school in NJ has been getting Spanish instruction since K.  Why doesn’t MCPS offer that?[/quote]

Check out how much taxes your niece’s parents pay! And this isn’t common, even in NJ. [/quote]
