[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That's a ridiculous take that reveals your inherent prejudice. The reality is that parents like you feel entitled to better education for your kids just by virtue of which zip code you live in. If you think it's ok for 20% of students at ANY school to underperform because they simply don't understand English well enough to succeed in the main classroom, or act out in disruptive ways that diminish the learning experience of other students, then you have other problems that no amount of logic will cure.[/quote]

I think the PP was arguing against the OP and saying even overenrolled/overcrowded schools still have the problems OP was mentioning, and pointing out that even facilities improvements aren't achievable in FCPS.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure the OP was suggesting that the boundary adjustment exercise is a charade that has yet to produce any workable solutions. All schools in Fairfax County have the potential to be average to high performing if kids are able to read, write, and speak English, but failure to address the impact of ESOL and lax enforcement of rules means a subset are held hostage by these kids. It's not wrong to expect kids to master English and take school seriously. In return, Fairfax County should provide the tools and instruction necessary for kids to reach English proficiency (if not mastery) and should stop allowing bad behavior to go unpunished. [/quote]
