Reply to comment by leavingthecold in Providence vs Johnston Schools by Ragetheprofet

I guess I'm really just struggling to understand your point at all. You seem to be saying that the increase in MLL services in providence is proof of a lower quality school system. Is this because you think a focus on these services lowers the academic rigor? That it attracts those with less academic interest? Why does "see look at how much effort is going into bilingual teachers and classes" a sign of a worse off school?

Or I've completely misread your point and would kindly ask you to restate them for me.

I'm guessing you never went to school in Providence or with a heavy student body consisting of people from different countries

The bilingual teachers are there usually for Spanish speakers, tell me how many are bilingual in some Asian, Middle Eastern, African language you know those people exist here as well.

Ironically those that were in ESL class didn't do any better than non native English speakers who happen to be in regular classes. Imagine that.
