[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach at a "W" cluster MS with a high Asian ESOL population. Most of those kids are from families with high SES, they have electronic translators to use in their mainstream academic classes, and they have private ELL classes after school or on the weekends. They are also less likely to live in a community where they can get by in their native tongue so they are forced to learn English if they want any measure of independence. I have had experience teaching in high FARMs MS Down County where most ESOL students are from Latin America. Most were poor. They couldn't even afford the paperback Spanish to English dictionaries let alone electronic translators and private ELL lessons. They live in neighborhoods where businesses have Spanish-speaking workers and signage so they can get by in that language outside of school.[/quote] You just compared two different SES schools, not races. You can't be poor and live in a W school.[/quote]
