English Discussion: ESL/Standard/Advanced Courses (3 Viewers)

[Monsterman]

I dont know how other schools do it.. but at mine it was like people who did esl did esl and the rest just got placed into advanced and standard according to their year 10 bands and ranks and whatever.. and then in year 11 the bottom 30 of advanced were asked to drop to standard... this way just seemed fair to me.. i mean.. idk if i read it right but writing a letter to someone to do esl doesnt seem right..
