[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is many are relocating to this area. Why OP?[/quote] I am worried about schools, FCPS specifically. Maybe the number of refugees is not that high, but for the amount of posts asking for donations on my Facebook page and nextdoor, Iam worried about the impact on FCPS resources - class size, ESOL, etc.[/quote] ESOL ? I doubt it- after 20 years of US occupation / UN presence I bet every Afghan kid speaks English, German and some French Don't you travel at all?? You should know this. That and the fact that - given an opportunity most Afghan kids will be filling the magnet STEM classes in your public [/quote] LOL at the idea that Afghans will be filling up STEM classes. Maybe the kids of rich U.S-linked members of the Ghani government, but in general? Look at the European experience with Afghan refugees. [/quote]
