[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it's because as pp said resources are finite. We've seen this first hand. When your kids are in a school where poverty has grown to over 60% free lunch in less than 10 yrs, the school starts scaling back. 
Ex. Your child is reading below grade level or you suspect an issue you are told all is fine. That's because there are so many children at the school who are either doing worse or who are new arrivals and cannot read at all.[/quote]

Yikes. This hits home in FCPS.[/quote]

come to Sterling Middle school and see what Democrat policies have done to the middle class.  Title one school , gangs, kids without parents, kids cant speak English.

and Democratic politicians are NEVER seen there.   Warner, Kaine, Conelly never seen or helping. [/quote]

When they don't visit the schools or see firsthand what's happening, they can pretend problems don't exist.[/quote]

My children attend public schools in a city people claim is ‘overrun’ with immigrants. No issues for my kids. [/quote]

As I think you would know, schools can vary greatly within a city or school system-- even schools within a couple of miles of each other. Do your children attend a public school in which 75+ % of the students are identified as learning English as a second language and possibly Title 1 as well?[/quote]

These children are spread across schools. I don’t think you understand how capable the school system is. An influx of a relatively small percentage of children is not going to break it. It is pure propaganda to make it seem like it’s a ‘crisis’ for everyone. Is it an important issue? Sure. Is it a crisis ? Nope [/quote]

25% of the students in FCPS are ESL. That is not sustainable. [/quote]

It has to be more than this. All the ES in our pyramid are over 40%.[/quote]
