[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really stupid thread.  Congratulations, OP. [/quote]
You hate simple solutions. Got it.[/quote]

Solutions so simple in fact that they are very likely to simultaneously run afoul of Brown v. Board of Education and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).  Just ignore the law, it will easy.[/quote]

I don't think you fully understand the intent behind IDEA. I was never meant for ESOL situations, but rather IEPs. As for BvBE, you would rather see kids continue to fall behind and create an unsafe learning environment as a result of their disruptive behavior than admit that ESOL kids need full English-language immersion in order to get their English reading, writing, speaking and comprehension up to grade level (or better). Why would you deny them a quality education because they can't understand the language. If anyone is discriminating here it's you and other "equity before all" progressives who can't face the truth about what's caused various schools across the county to slip in pupil performance.[/quote]

You are incorrect.

ESL students are protected by IDEA, and cannot legally be segregated from your English speaking kid's classroom.  They can be pulled out briefly for specific targeted instruction, similar to a kid getting speech therapy gets pulled out, but they cannot legally be removed from your kid's class.

This is well established and basic education law.[/quote]
No, you are incorrect. They are only covered under IDEA if they also have a disability. If we were using IDA metrics andEnglish proficiency is very low ,being in general classroom is a restrictive environment because they cannot access the curriculum.
There is a law supporting ELL students
