  Case: ESOL Student
Mr. Wilson has a student in his class who is from Honduras and speaks no English. She sits in class and stares. The ESOL teacher comes in twice a week and does a pullout with her, but for the most part she is completely lost and failing. Is it even right to fail the student with the understanding that she does not speak any English? All she does is copy off of the other students, which is only hurting her. What are some resources that could be used with this student to adequently measure her academic progress?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I definitely understand your concerns and have had a student like this for the past 2 years. Unfortunately after speaking with the ESOL teacher, she told me that everything I teach on a 7th grade level is going to go over this student's head until he/she learns basic English. During my class, my ESOL student who knows no English uses a website that is teaching him English.
