Question for Parents with Kids at ESL Schools
I just wanted to hear some experiences from parents that have to send their kids to ESL schools. At the beginning of the school year, I reported to you guys that my daughter was going into kindergarten, and they had an ESL program for anchor kids in kindergarten. I have seen this ESL class every single day, and I hear them and their teachers talk in Spanish only. All of their projects hanging on the wall are in spanish, while the other classes that have the same project have them in English. I thought that maybe by the end of the year, these anchors would be proficient enough in English to move to the 1st grade. Well here it is at the end of the school year, and I saw the same ESL class, and they STILL don't speak any English. The teacher STILL does not communicate with them in English. Now, since the school has ESL for kindergarten only, these non English speaking anchors will be integrated with English speaking 1st grade classes. I do not want my daughter's education to be dumbed down to accommodate these kids. As I said before, this school was once graded as exemplary for years in a row, is now graded as satisfactory, and it is now obvious why. I am so mad, because I can't afford a private school.
