[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is new in FCPS.

First, it is very likely that your kid’s school was interviewing candidates. These placements came about in January. Your school’s principal was not expecting this transfer to happen.

Likely due to Trump’s immigration crackdowns, high schools were not seeing the same numbers of ESOL students as they planned for. This meant that they were over staffed with ESOL teachers. So FCPS looked at teachers’ certifications and decided to move them into current openings across the county rather than add to the budget by hiring more teachers.

The odds of finding a decent sixth grade teacher is really hard on a good day. Finding one in the middle of the year is like finding a unicorn. Hopefully this ESOL teacher can step up to the plate. [/quote]

OP here, thanks for the information. This is very disheartening to hear. I feel bad for the teacher too as they did not put her in a position to be successful. I can't imagine being a high school ESOL teacher for 18 years and suddenly be told to teach elementary for the first time in the middle of the year. I'm not optimistic. My DD is at Lane for those that want to know.[/quote]
