[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to say to much for fear of losing my job but I am an ESOL teacher at Lee High School. There are tons of 20 year old males at this school that are in freshman classes such as World History 1, Biology and World History 1. To me this is an issue that has been ignored despite teacher protests.

This is an age issue, not an immigration issue. In my level 3 ESOL class I have freshman who were level 2 ESOL last year but I also have 20 year olds. 14 year old girls should never be in a class with 20 year old men. In my ESOL classes I have seen 19 year old men dating 14 year olds. Nothing is ever done about it. My voice has been ignored for years but FCPS has been doing this for years within ESOL classes, but they are now spreading outside ESOL as well. The only way your daughter will not have 20 year old men in their class is if they take honors classes as a previous FCPS teacher already stated.[/quote]

I also teach ESOL in FCPS and have never seen anything like this.  I think you are making it up.  [/quote]

I don't know how you don't see this as an ESOL teacher.

A 17 year old registers and takes ESOL level 1 government their freshman year. They turn 18 during the year.

Their second year when they turn 19 they don't take social studies.

Their junior year when they turn 20 and are level 3 ESOL they take a team taught world history class which half the class will be general Ed 14 year old freshman. This also happens with biology for level 3 ESOL students. No way you teach ESOL in fcps.[/quote]
