[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was not supposed to get out.  This is pathetic for a "super" school system.  I am appalled.  MoCo loves welcoming and paying for illegals.  I am sure this has a lot to do with it.  It is a shame our taxes aren't going to legal kid's education.  Instead it is going to ESOL and FARMS for illegals who don't pay a dime in taxes for their "free" education and meals.  Say [b]I am a bigot [/b](aren't all those against amnesty a bigot, right?) but someone has got to understand that it is stretching education dollars too thin for this county.  Illegal immigration up in MoCo by 550% in 8 years and the failing grades increasing more and more.  The fact that kids can fail the test but still pass the class is a joke.  Just keep moving along all these kids just to get them the heck out of the school.  There are kids in my child's 1st grade class that absolutely can not speak English.  How did they make it out of Kindergarten??[/quote]

The only thing I agree with this poster.[/quote]

I'll second that.[/quote]

Missed the crucial logic lesson that correlation does not equal causation.

BTW, there are plenty of foreign children whose parents work for the World Bank, international firms, embassies, the NIH, etc who do not speak English well but who are here legally, are very bright, and who are not at all a burden on the system. At least this is the situation at Bethesda Elementary School, where my own children are.[/quote]

So there are no illegal aliens in Bethesda Elementary?  Every non-english student excels without the need for ESOL? Your ESOL teacher needs haven't doubled in the last 5 years taking away other teacher/para educator positions?  For most schools in Rockville and Gaithersburg, there are a lot and the teachers and students struggle.  Reading specialists for English speaking children are taken away for ESOL teachers.  Projected enrollment in the last 5 years has been higher than anticipated here. Hundreds more with overcrowded schools and higher ratios and now less specialists to assist the average student. Not saying the poster went a little far in the hatred but the stress is actually there.  Maybe not in your school but there are plenty that struggle with immigration. [/quote]

I am not sure when it became so politically correct to embrace and pay for illegal aliens but there is no denying they are eating the taxes going toward the average legal child's education. [/quote]
