Why are you having to point out her ethnicity? Is there any other girl in the story?[/quote]

Because a lot of foreign born Asians don't know how to swim. Swimming is not part of Asian schooling curriculum like it is in VA public schools.
My Asian roommate in grad school could not swim, ride a bike or drive. Those are considered essential life skills here, but not in Asia. Some parents might teach their kids but more likely, the kid masters them on their own.[/quote]

Swimming is not part of VA public school curriculum. That is entirely on the family to teach.

- signed a VA public school grad with two VA public school teenagers. [/quote]

Swimming has NOTHING to do with this BUT you are wrong. Our NOVA schools systems have swimming in elementary school and high school.[/quote]

They certainly do but. I teach in the school system. You’re a troll.[/quote]

I'm not a troll. Where do you teach? My kids took swimming in APS and FCPS. I sub in APS.[/quote]

LCPS. You’re telling me there’s a mandatory swimming class taught during the school day? That’s bs. [/quote]

Yes, in FCPS and APS. [/quote]

The basic swim skills taught in a mandatory public school claass would not be sufficient to save a drunk person in rough waters in the dark.[/quote]
