[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think more and more people are waking up to the fact that all the schools around here are being overrun by underperformers which takes away time and resources from everyone else

The above average performers are either clustering in the remaining "decent school pyramids" aka the wealthier ones supplementing and desperately holding on or going private

The average performers are really hurting and I think people are waking up and saying enough is enough you need to focus on my children[/quote]

As a liberal, I hate agreeing with your post.[/quote]

A Canadian immigration system fixes the issue[/quote]

Then why are Canadian school systems struggling with the same issues with non-native speakers? There are actually quite a lot of English Language Learners in FCPS whose families are professionals and get in on H1-B visas and the like.  A child who is a non-native speaker adjusting to a new country is still going to need more educational resources initially.  And many of the identified children with special education needs come from upper middle class US citizens and yet they still need a lot of resources.  Public schools are just expected to do far more than they every were before--and they are absorbing costs that were used elsewhere.  For instance, pre-special education, there was greater need for public support life long institutional care for people with disabilities that are now better managed.  [/quote]
