Some teachers are ok. Any place you go unhappyly speaking there are people who are nice and some who don't. My real concern is the amount of children for each class. It is unbelievable unrealistic. Not fair for the teachers, not fair for the students

I completely agree with the comment above. My child is the same a ESOL student and nothing is learned for the last few months more than he knew. No one has sympathy if something doesn't understand and they wants to repeat, just have the answer "we're not going to repeat any particular". Kids are not helpful, they don't want to tell what is for HW if any case you don't know. It's very hard to get friend because they are already selected in the group and if you start talking with two person from different group you are done, nobody will talk to you anymore. It is one of worst experience most social than educational, but over all is one big nothing.
