At some point someone in that group of experts needs to come to the table with solutions or at least paths to go down. I would hope that these solutions involve something other than more money. Maybe we need to change the way classes are formed and split off kids who are learning disabled from ESL from the normal tract. Maybe we do hold more kids back if they're not able to perform the work required at certain grade-levels? To me that is an academic consequence for an academic issue. I really don 't know what makes sense either, but that is something I would hope the experts in the field would come to the table with.

Definitely a fair question. I've got to scoot from work right now, but I'll give it some thought and try to pen a response tonight if I get some time.
