What a great finding! The Educational Linguist is a Blog that examines language and race in education. I read this article about Latinx ELL students in Philadelphia and their ability or lack of to learn English.

The author also argues about the disconnection between teacher knowledge and district mandates regarding interventions that do not actually address these students' needs.
