[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are trying to teach ESOL children over 18 in high school so they can achieve a high school diploma. According to one of the posters if children are not ESOL, they have to get their GED certificate instead of a high school diploma. If we are not allowing non-ESOL children who are probably ahead of a 3rd grade level at 16 to achieve a high school diploma over 18, why are we allowing ESOL children to work on this till age 22? Of course they should have training, but I'm not sure I agree it needs to be a high school diploma to go onto college.[/quote]

Tell us again, what foreign country was it that you moved to so you had to be educated in another language?   Non-ESOL students have not had a language barrier,and they've probably lived in the U.S. most of their lives as well so presumably would have been required to start attending school at 5.  Do you think a student who is 2 or 3 years older than his classmates would choose to be in that situation?

Agree with 14:44 it is to our benefit as a society to educate immigrants. Period. People here need to stop begrudging ESOL students their chance at an education and acting like these students are taking something away from our pampered and very fortunate kids.  [/quote]
