[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an ESL student in MCPS in the 90s and learn English . The Spanish speaking students didn’t because they would just hang out with each other.  It hasn’t changed at all.  I wish fellow Latinos would see how it holds them back.  [/quote]

But how do they pass the grade?! If you can’t read the history books in history class or write essays in English- how are you not failing? 
 [/quote]Years ago I taught English at a NJ high school. We had a policy that ESOL kids who at least wrote their name on the assignment or test got a minimum passing grade. We weren’t allowed to fail them. They learned very quickly that they didn’t have to actually do anything to pass. Many still tried, but some happily took the passing grade.[/quote]

But why?!?! This isn’t good for society. I want every member of society educated on a basic level. [/quote]

It's probably because the dropout rate in high school may be linked to kids being held back. [/quote]
