[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am !  I am!  And you obviously  have no idea that most Kindergartners  entering MCPS with ESOL assignments stay in ESOL most of elementary school.  The parents want their kids to stay there as they get extra attention and do not fall behind. [/quote]

I didn’t say they couldn’t stay in ESOL, I said that it’s unnecessary.

My best friend in high school spoke English without an accent.  She was a refugee from Bosnia, entering US schools without a single word of English.  Yet by the end of the year (she was 10), she was able to read on grade level, translate for her parents and advocate for herself.  I tutor 3rd grade through college, and the kids who start with a language other than English before going to school have an advantage in science (Greek and Latin roots and terms), English (vocabulary, spelling inconsistencies) and foreign language (brain pathways are established, making learning languages easier).  There is NO downside to a child speaking a language other than English prior to school.[/quote]
