English Language Learner

In high school for one of my Child Care classes we worked in the preschool that was inside to the high school. There was a boy who was about 6, he only knew Spanish. The preschool teachers did not speak Spanish, I mean they knew their colors, numbers, letters but not much more. The boy often stood around confused because he could not understand what the teachers were telling him. I felt bad for him he spent the whole day in preschool with no one he could communicate with. Reading this article reminded me of him, and how much help it would have been to have someone who could give him the one on one attention that he needed. The English Language Learner program is great, and I am glad it exists to help students get through their days and to learn English.
