BUSSES of non-english speaking "citizens" are guided past Americans who had been waiting in line for hours to cast their early votes...

Just seeing this now. Was this addressed to me? Or maybe to someone I'm ignoring so it just looks that way?
It was to you. There are no ESL teachers at any school I taught in the six districts where I taught in KY. There is not enough immigrant population to justify it. I had two ESL paras in Louisville that were South American professionals who could not get licensed to do their professions in the US, so they sold their language skills. That didn't work too well with my many African, and Muslim students.

I hope your program is more successful and from reading your comments, I believe it is a good one.
 
And of course , anything posted on X by someone who no one ever heard and with no reference, must be true ,-just because it fits in with the narrative that you subscribe to. How stupid are you-really??

You just described yourself, lol dumbass.
 
It was called ESL back when I taught there. A rose by any other name...
It's a different thing. SEI is Sheltered English Immersion. Basically a certification for subject-area teachers on how to integrate non-native speakers into their Algebra, Biology, ELA or what have you classes. ESL is a licensure status, like being licensed to teach History for example. ESL classes are dedicated courses focused on language acquisition and development.

I have friends in Tx public ed say the same thing about Peruvian and Columbian ed professions getting to year licenses to teach Spanish in the Lone Star State.

A bad failure in the end,.

Thanks. We are trying. Somewhere around 70% of our entire student population now are ELs at the high school where I work.
 
As of last year, around 200,000.
Almost all lived in Louisville. Catholic Charities was settling immigrants in one rent-subsidized apartment complex in my school's attendance zone. My aunt just happened to live there also. It was the literal hive of scum and villainy from 3rd world countries where no one spoke the same language. It was a cesspool of humanity. Catholics should have been ashamed of themselves setting these people up for failure. My aunt had to move because of all of the crime, as several break-ins and murders occurred.

Kentucky was an interesting place to teach as I once taught in a rural county's only high school. We had three minority students in the whole school, but I had two foreign exchange students from Germany and Sweden in my classes. I taught in another district where the majority of the students attended parochial schools for elementary and middle school but were in the public high school.
