[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$857k for immigrant support, including emotional support. WTF. I am beginning to feel annoyance over the ripoff we have put up with for 40 years with no kids in Arlington. Sure yah yah housing values but WTF. [/quote]

Is this real?[/quote]

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was. Wraparound services and language support are needed if these kids are going to learn effectively. Ideally you’d have county social work do it, but we dump all of our problems on schools and that’s ultimately where the rubber meets the road.

[b]I grew up in the dark ages in a different place and they had to invest a lot in ESL and supports, too. [/b]None of this is a new concept. The only difference seems to be the Boomers got old and their kids graduated so they don’t want to pay for anything schools anymore. [/quote]
I did too and the difference was we didn't throw them in class on day one with an hour of push-in/pull-out. They were supported all day for a short time while they were acclimated and learned English. Their parents also learned English and adapted to how American schools operated.[/quote]
