Because esl is new. They offered Spanish here and in newbedford They offered Portuguese.

Don't know why you think it's a bad thing? It was made to better help kids adapt to life in the us.

Never said it was a bad thing if you read, the part that is bad is when all the ESL resources is for 1 group, not taking into consideration those that don't come from European language speaking countries.

ESL is not new unless you are really young. I get it has to do with demographic but also in doing so it excludes the people with lower number demographics.
