Chapter 8: Teaching Teenagers who are still learning English

English language learners struggle in the classroom for a variety of reasons. The students mentioned not being able to understand because they are bored or because they are underestimated.

I cannot believe that teachers just pass English language learners without actually seeing if they learned anything. Anyone can learn and I feel they should have the same opportunity as everyone else. I hope that if I ever had an English language learner in my class that I would do everything in my power to help them learn math and not just blow them off as hopeless.
