We probably don't need to know, but what are 'NESB kids'?
Presumably nothing to do with nuclear elastic scattering?

NESB = non-English-speaking background, a commonly used term in
educational, sociological and bureaucratic circles. They are
taught ESOL (English as a second or other language) by persons
trained in TESOL (teaching English etc.), which used to be ESL
and TESL.

But then again, don't all kids seem to be agents of nuclear
elastic scattering? :-)
