[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, this thread is gross. My child goes to a school with about 60% EL and it has been an amazing experience for her. She has friends from around the world, and is learning Spanish even though it’s not an immersion school. I don’t feel that my child’s learning has been limited in any way by learning alongside EL Orr low-income kids. Social-emotional learning and having a high EQ that allows a person to work and learn with all different kinds of people will be incredibly important in our kids’ lives.

We need to think about the skills, values and experiences that will benefit our kids. College acceptances and career and social  success will depend on very different factors than from when we grew up.

Your UMC will be able to read and pass standardized tests in any APS school, so chill out about that. Look at the diversity of these high-EL schools as the opportunity and gift it is.

You are probably a Title 1 school with those percentages and thus get.a ton more funding compared to OP.[/quote]
