    I think that is the most common or at least the most visible experience, yes. There are school districts here where the policy is that if a child doesn’t speak English, they are not to speak another language in the classroom, other students are not allowed to translate, and the tests and assignments they receive must be in English. But these kids, again, tend to be segregated out of nearly-all-white schools and just end up as the quiet kid in the back and no one bothers asking why they “refuse to participate”.
