[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many kids at HB who come not knowing English at all. The big difference in my experience (have 1 at HB, 1 at a countywide) is that the teachers care more. A lot of teachers at countywide don’t care or are overworked and checked out.[/quote]

Sure, but they don’t enter HB in February of 10th/11th/12th grade. What part of that don’t you understand?[/quote]

Yes they do! What part of this don't YOU understand?[/quote]
They do not. In the event a spot opens up it goes to someone on the waitlist [/quote]

You just don't know what you don't know. Keep spewing your ignorance. [/quote]

So you are suggesting a family moves to the US and into APS, and they transfer to HBW by bypassing the hundreds long waitlist?? So there are HBW back doors, which has been hinted at before?[/quote]

there is a program for English learners but if a new refugee family moves here in March, those kids are not going to show up at the doorstep of HB in March and get a seat.

Not a backdoor at all, there is a program for English learners. Unless you consider that a backdoor, I don't. [/quote][/quote]

Oh so a moment ago you didn't even know this program exists and now you're an expert on what they don't do? Give me a break! Go have a seat and let the adults who have a clue talk. [/quote]

That is a different poster. So the scenario you describe is someone leaves HBW who is part of this programs and that same month, a new family immigrates and takes their spot and there is no waitlist for English language learners? Can you link to this program? I actually have trouble with my English too all of a sudden. [/quote]

NP and this is also fascinating to me.  Please provide more info.  I did a search of APS website and this is mentioned nowhere.[/quote]

Why do you feel entitled to more info on this? The people who need it have it. You are clearly not in need of these services.

If there truly exists a backdoor into a highly coveted APS option program—one that bypasses the hundreds‑long waiting list and lottery—then it must be transparently published as documented policy. Otherwise, it undermines trust in the system. I personally think you are lying, just suggesting such a pathway without evidence feels like an attempt to deflect from the valid criticism that HBW avoids the challenge of serving day‑one English language learners, unlike the neighborhood schools that shoulder that responsibility.[/quote]

I could care less that you think I'm lying. You were wrong, I told you so, you don't believe me, that's your problem.

If you want to find published info on this, it's out there. go find it yourself. [/quote]

You could care less? [/quote]
