[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]

I'm an ESOL teacher in a different district. We have this situation. Very few of my students were born outside of the US. They are American citizens. Their parents speak Spanish and Arabic. Many of their English speaking classmates would qualify for ESOL if I tested them. They are far from proficient in English. Our elected officials aren't failing us when this has nothing to do with them. It has everything to do with the 14th Amendment which has been the law of this country since just after the Civil War. It's the same law that gives citizenship to you and your kids.[/quote]

The 14 amendemet give citizenship to the kids. There is nothing preventing aggressive enforcement from deporting other family members.   [/quote]
