Plucked From Africa, but Still Isolated in Their Classes - New York Times

I do think we do a better job. My job, half the day, is to teach nonEnglish speakers math. I've worked with a bunch of students -- started with 10, we've moved 50 thru, and have about 80 now. What we do, is test them. Mine are at the lowest level and they stay with me until they can speak and read some English. Then they are moved to sheltered classes. If they don't do well in those classes they come back -- so far, only 1 has.
