[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Virginia Principal just called into the radio - WMAL-  stating that law requires Virginia to educate people up to age 23 and that 18+ year old students are enrolled and mainstreamed as freshman if they come to the system with no previous credits.  She said what disturbs her most is that these adults are required to take gym 9 and 10 as part of their curriculum with 14 and 15 year old freshman and sophomores.  [/quote]

Can we assume this is the law of the land in all of VA, every county?
23 and 14 in Gym class together.   Wonderful.

This law has got to go.[/quote]

Its the law of the land in FCPS. I teach Biology in FCPS and ESOL students take booty their junior year when they are at level 3. Most of my classes are team taught which means half the students are general Ed and the rest ESOL. Biology is generally a freshman class. EVERY team taught class I have has 1-2 20-21 year olds and several 19 year olds. Lots of times sitting next to 14 year old girls. 95% of them are great hard working kids but some of them whistle and holler at young girls and one of the 20 year olds was dating a 15 year old for a bit. Some are definitely gang members, they wear Chicago bulls and Marylyn Monroe gear all the time and ALWAYS want bathroom breaks. Nothing I can do about but try my best. Shitty system that allows grown men to pick up young teenagers. [/quote]
