[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] OP's also asking: "Parents/guardians of these students need assistance too but there is time and language and cultural barriers- getting them information about identifying learning issues, ELL services, attitude/views about learning?"[/quote]

You do realize that immigrants, including non-English speaking immigrants, have been arriving to the US for well over 200 years. Many thrive here today in just one generation. It takes a home environment that emphasizes education as a path to success. if you have this, the rest of your culture doesn’t really matter.

It’s not the immigrants that are arriving.[b] It’s the sheer number of immigrants that are arriving on an already stressed out system and needing services that are beyond what the system can provide [/b]and it is already not providing It’s existing residents. [/quote]

This.  We have had an influx of thousands of children from all over the world and many of them need more services (help with food/housing/healthcare) than we have ever had before.

It is putting an unreasonable amount of pressure on teachers and admin in MCPS.  [/quote]

+1 even if it is necessary and the right thing to do to provide the extra resources, support, and academic attention, it can simultaneously be true that it takes resources away from other budget items that would otherwise be available for other/all groups of students. It’s not just extra money from the state. The EML staffing salary budget alone is a direct area that grows and shrinks based on this need.[/quote]
