Completely agree. But let's call them what they are: ILLEGAL. Men who are in this country ILLEGALLY should not be allowed in our schools. Period. |
Wow. I would say DUI, identity theft, and stolen social security #s are all very much crimes with victims. Not to mention rape and murder. |
Agreed! Those are not victimless crimes. Laws have to change. Immigration needs a big overhaul. Also don't offer four years of regular High School to adults. |
The central american immigrants I worked with in DC had needs far surpassing 'regular HS'. Many young adults (15/16) came from backgrounds of violence and trauma, no English, and functionally illiterate in home language...maybe fifth grade education at best. All were easy prey for gangs, with parents working night shifts and often absent for that reason. I am not devoid of sympathy, but to think we can open the doors and not have educational and cultural assimilation problems (seeing women as objects for example) is naïve at best. Yes, we need immigration reform . We should then let in the people (low skilled, high skilled, refugee) that we can actually functionally support, if they have an obvious educational, counseling, relocation, job training, cultural training need that will need to be addressed in specialized program. We need to close the door on de facto illegal immigration totally. |
It would be great if someone could also cross post this podcast on the MD schools forum! I'm sure many MCPS parents would like to hear Jack Smith's interview to get more insight on what happened. |
Wow. |
Exactly. |
I saw an ad on the metro for some free city services for underprivileged HS students, and the age cut off was 23 years old! Once you're 19 or 20, I say no more regular high school for you. You shouldn't be socializing with fellow students who just turned 13. |
| This is crazy. Previously “normal” schools turn into some low ranked high needs special schools for illegals? |
This is EXACTLY what is going on in a good number of MCPS schools. Talk to any parent about the demographic changes and if they’re being honest, they’ll tell you what it’s like. |
Crazy! Why do they come to MCPS and not some other place? |
| Any update with this case/investigation? |
It's happening in NoVa schools as well |
