[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome to FCPS- English,
Optional! [/quote]

I can safely assume you do not have kids in College. Lots of professors, PhDs, have very thick accents.

Yes, I know it is different, but what do you expect when the county pays $15hr?  A babysitter charges more![/quote]

College professors are completely different category. Those are educated people that speak great English with an accent. They very likely studied in US or did research in English. We’re talking about people limited English in K-12, where kids are learning the basics and need clear instructions.[/quote]

+1. Not to mention, I have students with Type 1 diabetes, seizure disorders, life threatening food allergies, etc. I leave very detailed sub plans with all of this information explicitly stated. We also have lockdown drills and occasionally real lockdowns and other emergency protocols. I attach this information too. If you cannot read or comprehend English, you cannot read any of those instructions. I'm rarely out and my coworkers are very helpful but I am not comfortable with the idea of a sub who can't read or speak English well trying to navigate an emergency situation. This is a lot different than a college class where students are able bodied adults who have a lot more awareness of how to react in an emergency.[/quote]
