Yes there is currently 4 in my child's 2nd grade class and we are in a 23% ESOL so not that high compared to others.  You do realize how transient this area is and how many diplomat kids, illegal aliens, and other kids from various countries come in and out of school at all levels.  They don't just all start in K.  High schools in MCPS receive hundreds of illegal orphans from Honduras, El Salvador, etc each year.  They don't speak any English.

Seriously, you must be in a lily white school to be so clueless.

No, my child's elementary school is about 25% white and about 15% ESOL.

MCPS says that 70% of ESOL students were born in the US. I'd also like to see a reference supporting your assertion that high schools in MCPS receive hundreds of orphans from Central America each year.

Also, when PPs talk about ESOL students who are bringing the whole class down, I doubt that they are referring to the children of diplomats.[/quote]

I guess you didn't read the article then?   I can see the numbers.[/quote]

No, I don't read the Washington Times, because I wouldn't believe the Washington Times if they told me that the sun rises in the east. If this is factual information that is widely known, then it must appear in other sources as well. If it only appears in the Washington Times...[/quote]
