she had to go in for a bilingual screening, i guess because we checked some form that said we speak 2 languages at home. she did fine on most of the test, but on the last part the examiner showed her two pictures and asked her about the sequence of events. for example, one picture of a girl brushing her teeth and another of the same girl in bed. my daughter didn't answer the questions, but just made up her own story. she's a creative 5 year old! so because of that she didn't pass the test, and she is classified as needing to take English as a Second Language.
We have already enrolled her in a dual-language program (English and Japanese) that works for native speakers of either language, so there's no extra program we have to sign her up for. The only thing that changes is that, because she has to take ESL, the school will provide transportation. So if she had passed, she'd be going to the same school, attending the same programs, but we'd have to provide transportation. But because she failed, we get transportation for free.
I'm baffled, outraged, and amused, all at the same time.

it's very... glossy. a completely unreal world, very fun to watch. John Goodman has the anime grunts down pat. Racer X is pitch perfect.

sorry, I meant Hoffman Estates :) Their tempura is very good, but now you can only get it as an appetizer or as part of a combo.
