[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree about FLES cut.  Nice to have program.  With the budget money like it is, it has to go.  Kids do not learn language with a class once or twice a week.[/quote]

Agreed.  And I say this as someone whose kids were born overseas and spent a significant portion of their lives in a non-English-speaking country.  I hated when we moved back here and my kids couldn't continue their language in FCPS.  But given that they couldn't have taken a language until 8th grade either way, it hasn't made that much of a difference. It would be one thing if foreign language was in all the schools, [b]but again when you're making hard choices that could affect all students getting essential services is it really fair or sensible to have foreign language in some but not all schools[/b]?[/quote]

I agree, and although I know your point was about eliminating FLES, this could also apply to AAP.  The vast majority of AAP students don't need the services provided to them and should be returned to the GE classroom.

FCPS need to focus on providing the best education possible to ALL students, and AAP is just a big extra that needs to go.  This is public school we're talking about, not private.[/quote]
