| Apparently it’s around 24% of Fairfax students are ESOL. |
Why is that scary? |
Because she said only 5 kids were not esol in her class. I am a former esol kid myself and I would not be ok with my kid being in this class. I can see having one or two esol kids here and there but to have the majority of kids in a class being esol? Sorry but something is wrong on a much larger level if there is that much of we have influx of people coming here to have such an impact on a school. Most are probably not going through the proper process. It's a large burden on our limited resources. |
How would you know?? |
| Most ESOL kids are born here just like your kids. They are citizens too. There is no requirement that students demonstrate English proficiency when they begin school. Heck, most native English speaking students would qualify for ESOL too if they were tested for English proficiency when entering school. |
Open your eyes. Do you not speak to people or keep up with the news? |
| My school is a high ESOL elementary school and we have an ESOL teacher per grade level and most things that ESOL students need for accommodations are easy put into gen ed lessons. As the person said before most of the kids in Elementary were born here or they are here legally. I don’t ask nor believe it’s my business to know my student immigration statuses but even if you took out all of the undocumented students we would still have a ton of ESOL students. |

Watching the news and talking to people doesn’t mean you’d know anything about personal about the legal status of the ESOL kids. You are gross. |
Speak for yourself. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to make such deductions. You have no information or knowledge so you toss around your typical small minded insults because you have nothing better to do. Keep living under a rock. |
Actually I do know because I have access to their files. The vast majority of my students are US citizens. But keep watching Fox News if you like being fed a bunch of lies. |
I've spent most of my career in majority ESL schools. Typically 90% or so ended the year at or above grade level. Last year I moved to a 40k a year private school with zero ESL students. Only about 80% ended up at or above grade level. And fwiw, most kids ARE going through the proper process. I know because I help with the enrollment. |
The only one insulting anybody is you, making gross assumptions that most of the ESOL kids are illegal. |
Uh oh. MAGA has entered the thread. You have no idea if this is true. |
Ok keyboard Karen. There are definitely some but not all. You just keep living in your bubble. |
