[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]

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.

Did you actually read the article that you are posting?  It basically says that these are kids that can't speak any language in a grammatical way, instead speak slang, but you (and the author) are mad at the schools for believing that they should learn both academic English and academic Spanish.  Umm... yes, that is what schools are for.  If their kids are happy to speak street Spanish and don't feel that they need to be able to write in an academic way, they don't need to go to school.
