How are scores reflecting the expansion of the multi-language learners in our classrooms, especially when some schools ensure that everything is translated into Spanish (ie. Monocacy Elementary School in Frederick, MD)?
It would be interesting to see the stats disaggregated. I know the influx here in Maryland has contributed to the lower scores on our state tests (I am an English teacher/lit specialist).

Fair question, but I don't think it had any effect on our performance.
Why do you think it wouldn’t be a factor? Does PISA test students in their native languages?
I doubt there are enough "Multi-language" learners to affect the test scores.
