  Case: Child should not be in ESOL
When I was working on an ESOL case study, I chose to work with a fifth grade student at the same school where I was working on my internship. There were only two ESOL students in the school, so I did not have many options. After I observed him for a whole day, I talked to his teacher who was very frustrated with the child. He never spoke another language other than English, and was born in the US. His parents speak another language, but I do not understand why he was in ESOL. He is not on grade level as far as academics, but his teacher thinks this is because he has been babied for his whole school career. What should happen in this case?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is an unfortunate but not uncommon problem. There needs to be better screening for ESOL services at the beginning. The child should receive academic interventions in the general education classrooms, and be evaluated for ESE if needed.

Comments: Children are identified as ESOL if they live with a family member who speaks another language primarily. It was not a mistake.

Comments: I think this is the best response to this particular case. It sounds much more like a possible learning deficiency than ESOL issue to me.
