[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dunno. My kid's school was about half and half black and hispanic. Black kids hung out together, hispanic kids hung out together speaking spanish, and my white kid was excluded from both. [b]I was told (by my kid) that the hispanic kids (when I suggested an overture to them) didn't speak English. They did; they just always switched to spanish when my kid tried to talk to them.[/b] [/quote] This happened to my kid (in FCPS). Then a group of these kids switched to saying things in Spanish, pointing at my kid and laughing. This went on for much of 1st grade and for all of 2nd grade. The teachers tried to intervene but nothing was really done. We left the school after 2nd grade.[/quote]
