I am a teacher in a school with a high percentage of English language learners. I firmly believe in holding ALL students to a high standard. However, there are many students who need a lot of extra language support in order to achieve the standards and schools and educators are often not given resources to help all students and these kids can fall behind. Thanks for bringing this subject to the attention of your listeners. Education is very complex and we need the support of the public to give our kids the very best.
