CANTON, Ga. – A Georgia elementary school launched a new program for upcoming school year that will rely on older students who just learned English to help teach younger students the language.
Approximately 42 percent of our students are served in our program for English as a second language,” Canton Elementary School Principal Beth Long told WSBTV.

The news story provided omitted all details on the school’s new program, including the cost. But Canton isn’t the only elementary school relying on special programs to cope with an increase in ESL students.
At Warren Elementary in Bowling Green, Kentucky, students from numerous schools spent the summer working on their English for the 2015-16 school year, according to the Bowling Green Daily News.
The program was free for the roughly 70 fourth through seventh graders who participated in the daily lessons. Those kids received free breakfast and lunch throughout the summer.

“..a process school officials contend takes five to seven years.”
That’s only true if the school uses the “bilingual” model, in which the student takes classes in all subjects in both languages, and fails to master any subject or language.
A total immersion course takes 18-24 months to get a student up to grade level English. However, the social policy curriculum designers have said that having older students in classes causes more problems, so they don’t do it.
