[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 22 languages spoken at Randolph. They champion that as a selling point for how great, inclusive and diverse it is. Which sounds great and looks good on their web page... Then I met an APS esol teacher recently who laid down the sad truth that many of those kids don't ever leave esol. They never catch up. Even the ones that start early. You have to wonder if living in an isolated ( yet very comforting) community and not having a majority of English speakers in their class is the problem? I remember growing up with a small minority of esl children in my elementary classes. They didn't stay that way for long because they were so heavily integrated. What the hell are we doing?[/quote] Oh, I did not know that many of these kids never leave the ESOL classes. Kids are sponges for language, especially when they are young and immersed. So yes, I would have to agree, that this will only hinder these kids' opportunities in the future. [/quote]
