[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This comes up every year. I am a FCPS teacher and I assure you if your daughter is in Biology, World History 1 or Algebra 1 class they will have 20-21 year old boys in the class. An ESOL student takes biology and World 1 their third year in a team taught class where half the students are non esol and the other half are. If you don't want your 14 year old daughter in a class sitting next to a 21 year old man make sure they sign up for honors classes.[/quote]

This varies somewhat from school to school, but it's pretty true.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? I was told by the administration they would not be comingled. I don't want my 14yo in class with ANY adult or anyone more than 2 years older. I think most parents assume that older students are served elsewhere because that's the way it was years ago. Adults went to Adult Ed. People who were never going to finish school in 4 years most likely never started at 17 or 18. Somewhere along the way this policy was changed and nobody said anything. I get field trip information forms, I get asked whether or not I will let my child read a certain book or watch a certain movie and they have information sessions on FLE, but nobody has said, "hey, by the way, your 14yo will be taking classes with 21 year olds." Don't they think most parents would have a problem with that? [/quote]
