[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grow some goddman thick skin. YES, changing demographics absolutely have affected school quality for the worse. I'm sorry you cannot handle the truth. When you import thousands of students from 3rs world countries who cannot speak a lick of English, you will absolutely being down school quality when millions of dollars and inordinate amounts of time have to be spent on remdial classes and basic English work students should have mastered a decade later. It is a brutal fact of reality.   All of STEM uses English as a standard. All rigorous course material in science and mathematics must use English. It doesn't matter if you're in Japan, China, France, or the US. If you want a rigorous education in science and math, it has to be in English. The fact that we have to still teach basic English in high school and middle school is a MASSIVE drag. Even the Chinese publish top research articles in English. We shouldn't be spending millions of dollars and inordinate amounts of time teaching English in a country that uses English as the primary language for everything.[/quote]

Depends on how you define "school quality" doesn't it? I define "school quality" as "quality of education for the actual students who attend the school".

[b]There's also the issue that students who were born here weren't "imported" from anywhere, they were born here.[/b]

There have been many years when we did, in fact "import" an entire high school's worth of students, many who were unaccompanied.[/quote]

Yes.  MCPS is a popular destination for ‘unaccompanied minors’.  [/quote]

September is always so fun with kids just walk in it registered and not knowing any language formally.[/quote]
