[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...a school full of absolutely driven, competitive students who can't even fully comprehend instruction in English... [/quote]

i agree it's problematic that TJ accepts kids who need ESL, but the above is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? i believe the facts are, that there's only a handful students who need ESL.[/quote]

o.k., you got me.  A bit of a stretch perhaps,  but it has to be more than "a handful" to need to hire an ESL teacher. How many are in this group I don't know but it was a noticeable enough problem the teachers had to point it out to the administration.

It was 13/480 for the incoming class - so they can hire a part-time ESL teacher - part-time is the model for specialist hires in any case - and you never know maybe some of the 13 kids are european?  maybe only 57% of the 13 are asian kids i.e. 7 or 8 kids.  13/480=2.7% which isn't so much certainly doesn't account for the contribution or experience of the 57% asians.[/quote]
