[quote=Anonymous]Do people have any idea how much schools are affected by this. In 2012, Fairfax County Public Schools had 17% ESOL---that was up 1/3 over the year before because of the Unaccompanied Minors. This year, FCPS has 29% ESOL. Granted, some of these are a result of legal immigration. But, 29%? Not likely. Most of these kids are on free lunch, and I would imagine other welfare programs. Certainly, if the kids are here, we must educate and feed them. Churches gather food to send home on weekends. I know because we help with that. These ESOL programs mean that these kids require more resources than your "average" English speaking kid. Many of them also are in special education which also requires additional resources and money. This is draining our schools in this area--and our taxes.[/quote]
