[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm of two minds on these sorts of things. On the one hand, our ES has Spanish speaking coffees once a month and I think they have really helped a lot of those parents get more involved in the school. On the other hand, the school has parents who speak so many other languages - there are something like 60 different languages spoken at homes of the kids in the school and you don't see Urdu speaking coffees or Swahili speaking coffees, etc...and part of the reason is because those people have had to learn English since moving here whereas the Spanish speakers haven't and I find that frustrating.[/quote] Spanish-speaking students represent 60% of the ESOL population in MCPS. Likely there are not enough Urdu or Swahili-speaking families to generate an interest at your school.[/quote]
