Sadly, I have seen teachers assume immigrant students come from a broken family (different fathers for each sibling, etc).

I have seen adults talk about children in front of them as if they don't understand what they are saying or as if they don't feel the negativity  through their actions and tone.  I have used these opportunities to teach people to look within themselves.  It has not been comfortable for them but it has helped me rest at night.  We cannot be afraid to stand up for what's right.

I receive a disproportionate amount of office referrals for some of our ELL students. The students who are referred are often frustrated by feelings of isolation, lack of understanding, or an inability to articulate how they are feeling during a peer conflict.

I also believe that the language barrier that educators and ELL parents encounter can lead to negative impressions on the educator side about parents' involvement in their children's education when this couldn't be further from the truth.
