    Children in general are not cognitively 【S9】______ to think abstractly, or read and write proficiently in the language they grow up in until after six or seven years. Why does Ms. Chavez want less for language minority children?
    It is unfortunate and 【S10】______ that because of false rumors, such as those spread by Ms. Chavez, that language minority children get pushed into all English classes too early.
