This reminds me of the time I got put into 7th grade English Remedial class coz the head teacher for the English department had kids read out loud for him, but I unfortunately was (still is) an introvert and my shy voice had me marked as a slow reader, when in reality my English was the best in the class. When my class's actual English teacher showed up for our remedial class she was gobsmacked to see me in there lmao

Honestly, after becoming kind of fluent in English during middle school (unsupervised access to the internet and a love of fanfics since age 11 will do that to you), this was me in high school English classes, I already knew everything and my teacher knew it too, so she decided to ignore me being on my phone for like 90% of the lesson (I was quiet and did all my work and tests quickly so I guess she didn't mind. And most of the time I was actually reading fanfics in English still, sooo...)

A bunch of liars in this comment chain from what I can see. People, just literally use google, it's right there. Some countries "mix up" kindergarten and pre-school. Some idiot above being like "at 3 years old I had english homework" sure you did pal, sure, not even the fact that most people's memories from their toddler days should be really fucking vague that you shouldn't even believe your own memory cuz of how unreliable it is, at 3 years old we are talking baby/kids day care type of shit that it doesn't even count as any type of formal education

As a teacher it’s a wonder that they moved her outta that. ESL can be pretty hard to get out of once put in. (It probably means her parents got her moved out)

@turkeyeater5206

I have first hand experience of how hard it is to be taken out of ESL/ELL. I didn't start learning English until I was 5 years old but by the end of 3rd grade I was already at the top 15% of the grade in reading and speaking but was still stuck in ESL/ELL. It's kind of funny too, since all the ESL/ELL teachers knew I didn't need their help but was still required to meet with them every now and then and so whenever I had to go meet them, they usually have all the kids doing exercises on a school subject, they just let me chill or help out the other students once I finished the exercise. Looking back, I went through middle school without ever having to deal with ESL and it wasn't until I started high school that they tried putting me back in ESL/ELL. Had to convince my parents to not sign the form to put me back in🤦‍♂️. Mind you, I was taking mostly honor classes at this point 😂.

she might have gotten lucky with that school system edit: her then age may have also played a part, since 5-6 year olds generally either know a language innately or don't know it at all.

Ahh, I'm also bilingual, and my parents recall my preschool teacher calling home worried that I didn't know the English words for colors. I just misunderstood them and was using my other language, lol.

I can relate. I was put in ESL also, because my parents put down that I could speak English and Spanish. I was more fluent in the former, since I always spoke to my older sisters in English. I was also enrolled too early, since my birthday was after the cutoff date, but they somehow allowed it.

1:33 i never expected to see the "mucho texto" meme on a vtuber (if this happened before i didnt know it)

So I'm not the only person that this has happened to. I got put into an ESL class in middle school. For whatever reason, they had assumed the black kid didn't speak English and spoke only Spanish. I was in that class for about two semesters until they called my mom. They were apparently trying to celebrate how much English I had picked up but the celebration was cut short when my mom pointed out English was my first and practically only language.

The exception to this was math, and one year my math teacher found this out and thought it made zero sense because he would literally use me as an example to other kids. He recommended I be moved from the bottom to the top for everything and that's where I stayed lmao, it was still easy. Pretty fucked up that kids are placed in classes seemingly based in whims.

Bruh same thing happened to me in grade 5. Just moved to a new school and spoke perfect English at this time but just like Irys my mom probably written down the languages I speak which were Vietnamese, French and English. They assumed English was my 3rd language and put me in ESL. Actually, English was my 3rd language but I was fluent since the beginning of grade 3. Unlike Irys though, I played dumb for as long as I could and was there for almost the whole year until some teachers noticed me speaking with my friends during recess and said no way this kid is not fluent in English.

ESL means English as a *Second* Language, and she said Japanese was her first. So ironically what you point out isn't a contradiction. The thing here is more they didn't realize or didn't bother to check how fluent she was in her second language too. Overly simplistic educational course assignments thinking everyone's proficiency levels in their second language are the same.

I'm born late in the year so when my family moved I was supposed to go to 1st grade but since I wasn't 6 yet the new school put me in kindergarten for a few days before someone realized the error. If I think back on it, how dumb can you be, I mean tons of kids are born late in the year.
