[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make seperate schools for illegal immigrants.

Make separate schools for kids who do not speak English,

Integrate them in the mainstream schools when they catch up. [/quote]

Are there even enough teachers to teach ELL students? [/quote]

Nope.  We have immigrants coming here illegally from all over the world.  It's not just Spanish speakers.  It's impossible to hire enough teachers to fill the need.  Also, hiring even more ELL teachers means less money for other staff.  We don't have an unlimited budget.  So, we throw the kids into regular classes and expect teachers to pick up the slack.

The casual racism and anti-immigrant hate is just something else on DCUM. People don't even respond to it anymore.

Do any of you people reading this understand that what the PP wrote is:

A. Greatly exaggerated. No, there aren't hordes of non-English speaking students in MCPS, and

B. Hateful? This is public school. You educate the resident kids, regardless of who they are or where they come from. That is the public education compact, and it's a GOOD thing for our long-term future, for which we need educated and socially-integrated immigrants.

If you don't like it, feel free to move or to educate your kids elsewhere. You have choices.

I'm a parent volunteer in my kids' public schools. I've seen the recent immigrants learning English. They're grateful, quick to learn and they've got tons of grit. They don't take away resources from other kids, since the state gives extra money specifically to bring these kids up to speed. These are not snowflake kids. They will grow up to contribute to the economy of the United States and prop up your Social Security benefits.

Don't let your hate shoot you in the foot.
