[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is DC, OP. Kids at our elementary school speak 22 different languages. Alice Deal has students speak in 15 different languages for the 8th grade International Baccalaureate promotion ceremony. It was wonderful and the experience enhances learning for everyone. No one is held back by being exposed to children who speak other languages. This is a major international city for crying out loud. This is one pf the best things about living here.

The schools have pull outs for ESL, and the preK teachers say within 30 days the new students can follow in class and at 90 days they are more fluent than their parents.[/quote]

Well PP, try coming to Rockville, Derwood, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring. We don’t have your “rich wonderful cultural” experience of DC. We have teen refugees coming in and turning to MS13 for family. Families and kids being bussed in from El Salvador. I wouldn’t call it a wonderful enhancement. They eat up a ton of the education funding in ESOL, FARMS, family and PTA resources,  only to drop out by 10th grade.

But cool story  :roll: [/quote]
