[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So all of the "illegals are destroying our schools" whining is just BS. You just don't like ESOL. Got it. [/quote]

Wow.  Tell us, do your children attend a school in Bailey's Crossroads?  Annandale?  Herndon?  Chantilly?  If they do not, then STFU.  Your opinion doesn't matter unless your children are actually affected by the majority ESOL kids who attend so many FCPS schools.  God, sanctimonious liberals are the *worst*.[/quote]

So say that you want solutions to high ESOL #s. Don't put terrible candidates like Trump into office over "illegals". You're not actually addressing your actual concern. [/quote]

+1000000. [/quote]

No matter where you live in FCPS, your kids are being affected by the number of undocumented resident children in our county.  You may not see these kids in your schools, but your schools are getting less money as a result.  To say that other programs are not impacted is naive and uninformed.

Whether this is right or wrong may be debated--but , it is a fact that FCPS resources are being stretched as a result.  And, Trump has nothing to do with this--it started before he was president.[/quote]

The percentage of ESOL and FARMS kids is virtually identical in APS and FCPS. [/quote]

The median house in Arlington is $715k and $544K in Fairfax.  Arlington real estate taxes can afford a lot more for these services. Arlington is also has a fraction of the amount of kids that Fairfax has... and those kids are crammed together in certain areas so the resources can be maximized. Fairfax has these kids spread out everywhere which stretches the budget.[/quote]

On the other hand higher COL for Arlington impacts teacher salaries, and the scarcity of vacant land makes building new schools more costly and complex. [/quote]

Arlington has a fraction of the kids Fairfax does. It's a lot easier to balance teacher pay and student needs when you only have 54k students versus the 187k that Fairfax has. [/quote]
