[quote=Anonymous]To add, as an ESL tester, I’ve seen a bunch of really smart K students who speak great English, but who got into this program just by their parents being honest, and sometimes it’s a bit tricky to get out of it because you need to have writing skills for example that not even all native speakers have in K. So if your child knows at least basic English I suggest you don’t mark any other languages on home language surveys. Yes kids from educated families do test out by 3rd grade generally but sometimes there are other things that hinder their performance on tests, like anxiety or SN. And they keep going thru these meaningless tests losing on class time. It’s twice a year for an hour or so though, so maybe not too bad. [/quote]
