[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. [b]If you don't want your 14 year old daughter in a class sitting next to a 21 year old man[/b] make sure they sign up for honors classes.[/quote]

Why is this an issue? Last time I checked sitting next to an adult make did not automatically endanger you. Unless you believe that "they're not sending us their best people," and every Latino ESL student poses a threat to all females, simply because of their county of origin.

You guys are unbelievable.

Rapists are rapists, and they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and we have no way to identify them prior to their criminal act. You do realize that your daughters have a far greater chance of being raped by a drunk frat boy at some point during their college years than they do by an immigrant who sits next to them in freshman Biology, right?

You honestly don't see why this is an issue?  True the majority of 21 year old males are not rapists, but HS is a social environment. Kids in the same high school classes are considered peers and would generally be expected to socialize as such (including dating) most parents do not want their 14 year old daughters to be in an environment where the are the social peers of 21 year old men.
