[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are ESL teachers at other county schools as well. But, the number of students they serve is insignificant compared to the entire student population in most schools.[/quote]

please. To geet into TJ one has to pass a rigorous test in math and [u]verbal[/u] and write two essays. So something is fishy when TJ has to hire ESL teachers. Again, these kids are 15 and allegedly born here, so why would they need an ESL teacher.[/quote]

do you have facts to back this up?  that there are ESL teachers at TJ that are serving A LOT of students?  
ESL teachers are required by fairfax county.  again there could be a myriad of reasons why a student might need ESL services. my oldest is currently entering kindergarten and speaks fluent english but has been exposed to another language at birth.  ALL the moms out there warn me not to put down that another language besides english was their first language because they will be stuck in ESL per fairfax county rules.  so who knows?
no one said that ALL TJ students were born in the U.S.  please get a grip and focus on your own kids.[/quote]
