[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No OP is right. Level I ESOL students used to have their own English class, often double period. This year that is gone and they are in General Ed English Classes and it is INSANE.

I do not agree with it either. Where are the basics, what are they supposed to be doing, learning to say Hello and simultaneously reading novels?

Dumbest thing Maryland has done. It is state led btw OP, not an MCPS thing from what I understand. [/quote]

This is at the high school and middle school levels? Are the schools having a second teacher that is ESOL certified circulate? Is that the system?[/quote]

High school level. And yes, there is a second teacher circulating. But in a school like Wheaton with a very high ESOL population you have like 15 kids who don’t know English in one class. That’s impossible [/quote]

All the ESOL teacher can do in this situation is help keep behavior in check. The curriculum is ELA at a far higher level than beginning English Learners can even attempt to understand. Doesn't equity-warrior-in-chief Thomas Taylor care about these students?[/quote]
