[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't speak English - you need to learn before you attend an MCPS school. have one or two schools in the county that cater to those that don't speak English.[/quote]

FWIW I am an ESOL teacher.   The majority of my students speak English fairly fluently when they enter Kindergarten -- probably 80%!   Yet they qualify for ESOL services because their literacy scores are low.

These are the kids who are not managing to pass the MSA by grade 3.   They don't need to learn English.   They need to improve their reading and writing skills.   They need extra tutoring and instruction, not English language classes.  Your solution would not change much.[/quote]

Now is not the time for semantics.  
Stop making excuses - - they can't read, write, or speak in English well. What they do know is from TV, thus they perform poorly on all the tests. 
They are way below others and their peers. In fact, they cannot read, write or speak in any language well.  
We are shoveling monetary and tangible resources at them for the last 10 years, we cannot keep up, it is overwhelming the system and no end is in sight.  The new reputation of MoCo and MCPS is "focus on ELS students."  It is the magnet district for the hemisphere.  Bienvenidos. [/quote]
