  Case: ESOL modifications
In Mrs. F's third grade class there are 2 ESOL students. Both of them are at a lower level. She does not make any accommodations or modifications for them. She is just assuming that they will figure it out.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Certainly ignoring children who are not learning is never going to encourage them to learn. It can be hard to teach if a language barrier is so intense that comprehension between student and teacher is not smooth. I believe that it is up to the teacher to start addressing it as soon as possible, and work extra with those students to help them gain the vocabulary and fluency they will need to progress. It sounds like Mrs. F is somewhat set in her ways and unwilling to make those compromises of her time and energy to allow those students the chance to flourish, and unfortunately I do not know how to bridge that gap, since it seems like it is a matter of her perspective more than anything else which is causing the achievement gap for those students.

Comments: I agree, ignoring the students isn't going to help the situation any. A teacher should help students by making accommodations to their needs.
