[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want any religion in schools. [/quote]

+1. And I don’t want vouchers. And if there are vouchers, religious schools should be wholly ineligible. [/quote]

Vouchers will destroy public education [/quote]

Yes I agree. Although even without them, many middle class and upper middle class parents are fleeing even “good” public schools due to ESL and IEP’s run amok. Schools are having to handle both without enough staff and funding and the “regular” kids are getting lost. My kids are in HS now and want to finish where they are, but if I had little kids starting out, I don’t think I’d send them to our “good” public school. [/quote]

I grew up with tons of ESL students in Arizona. They do not slow down class! IEPs weren’t a thing when I was in school. We just held the kids with ADHD back. People who move their kids because of ESL students don’t know anything and operate on false assumptions.

My kids attend a Title 1 DCPS high school in DC. My senior has become a wonderful writer. They are getting a great education. We shall see where my senior goes to college in the Fall. If I had younger kids, I would send them on the same educational path. We don’t supplement at home either. We also both have PhDs.[/quote]

I'm going to bet that your kids are extremely bright and growing up in a stable home and would do well anywhere. You are very much mistaken if you think being in a class comprised of mostly Title 1 English language learners doesn't impact instruction and learning for an average or at risk student.[/quote]
