[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ESOL positions filled!!! You can go to the staff directory now of all the schools and they are updated. [/quote]

I just looked at the FCPS Vacancy List and counted 17 ESOL advertised. [/quote]

Why is esol so important? Most kids are not esol.[/quote]

Wow.

“Why is early literacy important… a majority of kids are not in grades K or 1”

🙄[/quote]

But everyone starts out in k or 1. Don't tell me that the number one priority for FCPS should be esol of all things. Get a life![/quote]

Unless you are in certain pyramids, ESOL is exploding everywhere else in FCPS. It actually makes up a very large percentage of students. [/quote]

That's kinda scary. Vote![/quote]

Why is that scary? [/quote]

Because she said only 5 kids were not esol in her class. I am a former esol kid myself and I would not be ok with my kid being in this class. I can see having one or two esol kids here and there but to have the majority of kids in a class being esol? Sorry but something is wrong on a much larger level if there is that much of we have influx of people coming here to have such an impact on a school. Most are probably not going through the proper process. It's a large burden on our limited resources.[/quote]

I've spent most of my career in majority ESL schools.  Typically 90% or so ended the year at or above grade level.  Last year I moved to a 40k a year private school with zero ESL students.  Only about 80% ended up at or above grade level.  And fwiw, most kids ARE going through the proper process.  I know because I help with the enrollment.  [/quote]

Do you have data that backs what you are saying? Show us data that shows that schools with high esol % of students score better than schools with low esol %. My family member teaches in Maryland and tells me that they have kids that just show up one day and they look much older than they claim to be, speak zero English and seems like they have never been inside of a classroom before despite being teens. Is this all the kids? No. Is it a large enough amount that it raises eyebrows? Yes. Is it their fault? No it isn't, nor is it the schools but that doesn't mean that educating them should be the top priority of the school system.[/quote]
