[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FACT: The kids are here and must be educated.
FACT: This is the elephant in the room that is not being seriously addressed by FCPS.

Question:  How is FCPS addressing and helping the schools that are receiving the largest influx of the kids?  What kind of additional help is given to a school that receives the equivalent of two classrooms of kids that are poor and, in some cases, with very little formal education, and who speak little or no English?
What additional resources are provided to schools that grow in this manner AFTER the school year has begun?

I was a teacher in a couple of different systems--not Fairfax.  In my experience, once the staff and classrooms were set in September, it was very difficult to hire additional teachers.  Think about it,  setting up new classrooms later in the year is unrealistic.  
What is FCPS doing about this?  These are schools that are already struggling.  And, how are we helping these kids, as well as the schools?  Think about it--this has to be extremely difficult for these kids--and, for the teachers who must help them when they are already stretched to the max.

Does anyone on this forum know how it is handled?[/quote]

+no.  No one seems to give a sh*t.  In fact some of the PPs want to talk about the rare case of a poor hispanic going to TJ so they can pat themselves on the back for supporting an *amazing* school system.  sigh.[/quote]

Not sure why you think everyone would buy into your false narrative that the system is declining all because you don’t like having more Hispanics at Herndon.[/quote]
If the problem is not that the schools are overwhelmed with FARMS and ESOL, then what is it?[/quote]

Parents who are racist dicks.[/quote]
