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]
blatantly false. absolutely untrue (may be an exception but certainly not all or mandatory)

sad to be trying so hard to insert off topic and false irrelevant diversions in this thread as if the actual subject matter isn't sad enough on its own[/quote]

With regard to APS specifically there is mandatory swimming for 3rd graders and ninth graders. It is a unit in their PE curriculum. In elementary school they are bussed to the Washington liberty pool. Agree this has nothing to do with the topic at hand, nor would it have saved her, but you seem completely unhinged claiming you’re a teacher and making false statements about school district you don’t even work in. [/quote]

Take your VA school comments to the VA school forum. This particular thread is not about that.[/quote]

She’s from Virginia dumb dumb. [/quote]
