Thanks for this! Again, politicians making policies for educators,what could go wrong?

What they didn't consider when they went from 11 to 3 semesters is the students' families, more than likely, don't speak or read English yet, either. If the children aren't getting help by speaking or writing English at home, they have no chance to practice. How would these politicians do if they moved to Thailand but couldn't practice Thai after they left their classroom in the afternoon, had two months without instruction, then they had to take reading AND writing test in Thai on a graduate school level?
