Katya continues to florish! School is going well, or I should say Katya loves school. She is learning English, but that could just be assimilation or the tutor. It's difficult to say how much she is learning in sixth grade versus home, but she is learning. I have a feeling the school could be doing a better job, but the truth is there are two ESL teachers and 97 ESL students, most of whom are Korean. My sister mentioned hiring an educational advocate for Katya, because it is their job to know what services Katya is entitled to and are very effective in getting their clients these services quickly. Sounds like a great idea, but some of the advocates are attorneys who charge $300 - $350 an hour. Yikes! We supposedly live in an area with one of the finest school systems in the United States, but after 10 years of being in the area I am less than impressed. I will have to start being a better "squeaky wheel" so Katya will receive the finest education available to her.
