[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is when half of your class is ESOL![/quote]

Something is terribly wrong and our elected officials are failing our society if you have schools where half the kids are esol. No wonder there is a teacher shortage. How can schools keep up?[/quote]

The immigrant communities in Fairfax live near each other in very packed in conditions (often two families to an apartment ). My students will often tell me that they live with their mom, aunt, uncle, and cousins in an apartment. My school takes from a very large low income apartment complex so your school can fill up with ESOL students quickly. [/quote]

At pre-k through 1 there is a significant number of kids in schools districts who are not immigrants.  Their parents speak another language other either solely or in addition to English.  They teach/speak this language as the primary language at home because they know the kids will learn English at school.  This ensures their kids will be bilingual or trilingual and that they won’t loose the language of their heritage.[/quote]
