Re: Surprise! Scores rise as class sizes...
In late 60's Minnesota, there was no such thing as a 'bilingual' classroom. The school I went to informed my mother of the teaching methods before I attended the school. Teachers were there to help, guide, teach and offer advice. They also had a wonderful program that encouraged college students fluent in a foreign language to help students after school. If a student failed a grade, regardless of what country they came from, they had to repeat it. Thankfully, I didn't have to. I loved it and will forever be grateful.
