[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we putting them into school at age 18?[/quote] Because that's allowed in FCPS if you're in ESOL. You can stay until you're 22. It's the only county around here that does it I think. It's a problem, but I don't think a lot of people know about it.[/quote] So it's not a federal requirement? Why are we doing this? Why can't these people go to alternative learning schools instead of high school if the classes are too hard for them at the very least?[/quote] No, it's not. It's something Fairfax Co. has chosen to offer. We have some alternative schools, but they meet in the afternoons and there is no transportation or breakfast/lunch offered. I love teaching ESOL, but I agree a regular high school is not the right place for these students who are starting school at such an academic deficit. But to make a new type of program for them would cost even more money and the county is not going to spend it.[/quote]
