[QUOTE="Deleted member 11196, post: 1452292"] The other thing that happens is that American schools often give a test to foreign students when they first enroll in the US, and kids are often set-back a year (or even two sometimes) solely based on their skills in understanding, reading, writing and speaking in English. I'm a grandpa to a couple of kids of foreign origin, and when they arrived here for schooling, this happened to them. Regardless of the ESL classes that they have taken, their skills in being able to understand the teacher, and respond to questions is often not as advanced as the average American kid... I don't know that this happened to Giorgi, I'm just saying that this happens, and it happens alot.... [/QUOTE]
