This next post also from The ESOL Odyssey stays on the topic of unaccompanied minors. This post however, details what to do if one of these kids ended up in your classroom. In general she recommends being as accommodating as possible. As teachers, we cannot ask outright about a student's immigration status, so we have to use the info that we do have. Teachers will have to recognize any difficulties a student might have, like lack of lunch or school supplies. She relates one experience where a student had no winter clothes so she asked her older class to donate some old clothes to him. This is another handy post for any teacher with a down on their luck ESOL student.
