Thank you for the link, but I was asking for the link to the law that says the states HAVE to offer ESL... I know they DO offer it...

I am also a former teacher and ESL is a hinderance, not a help, as you alluded to in your reference to the ESL teacher who said she’d still be in the Valley speaking Spanish...

I think the ESL crap came under one of the Title programs but not sure.

I know one thing--the dist. I was in would not have had it if it had not been mandatory.

The ESL training programs wouldn't be all over the country if it wasn't for the Feds...IMO.
