[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents can opt students out of receiving EL services. They will still be annually assessed, but will not receive services.

In 25 years as a classroom and EL teacher, I’ve never thought or heard anyone else talk about a child in terms of funding. We are too busy trying to help the large caseloads we have.[/quote]

These are real documented experiences families have had. If you don't believe them that's a you problem.[/quote]

Can you point to this documentation?  [/quote]

For the third time, here is a link.

Feel free to do your own Google search if you actually care about this issue (I suspect you don't)
By the way I personally know multiple Latino families that have had to BEG to get their English speaking kids removed from ESL.

That link doesn’t say anything about funding as a reason kids are put on ELL services.  It talks about racism as a reason. [/quote]

I'm so pleased one of you a-holes finally took the time to read about this instead of continuing to deny it is happening. Congratulations![/quote]

You posted that link in support of the argument that kids are being placed in ELL services to increase funding.  It didn’t support that argument.  I already believed racism, disguised as concern about code switching plays a role in ELL identification.  It didn’t change my belief that school systems aren’t overidentifying kids due to funding.

Even if they were doing this, OP’s kid doesn’t seem to have been identified, they seem to have spent time with an ELL teacher who provided services in their classroom.[/quote]

If OP's kid is getting a pull out OP should have been notified and told the reason for the pullout. She wasn't, and I imagine there is a shady AF reason for that.[/quote]
