Bilingual issues...

So far it has been really interesting to see how the English teachers deal with the students who are new transfers, slower learners, or dealing with juggling 2 and 3 languages and for that reason can´t seem to filter out the others to learn English. I think this is going to be a focal point for my personal notes throughout the year. We have a transfer student in 6th grade who hasn´t attended bilingual school previously and really isn´t even up to the school´s 2nd grade standards for English. I am awaiting to what actions the teachers take to work at this problem.
