He said if states want to test students in English, they'll have to do a better job teaching it.

Just by reading this comment, something tells me the students aren't quite interested in learning English.

Carlos Legaspi, a senior at Rio Linda High whose family emigrated from Mexico when he was a child, said he can understand how the test might be hard for students who don't speak English. But he said it's still a reasonable expectation, especially because most schools have tutoring programs available. Legaspi said he passed both sections on his first try.

"I don't know how it discriminates," he said. "It's just a test."
