[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh OP- do tell where the money for the extra administration, classrooms, buses, bus drivers, and SPED teachers or ESL teachers are going to come from?  I highly doubt you would be up for more property taxes.  And no, central office cuts would not be enough to offset your large ask.

Expand and tell us when a child is “proficient” enough in English to sit next to your child. Who is testing them and when can they move from the brown room to yours?

Lordy. You act like everyone born with ivory to beige bisque skin speaks English simply because they're white. For your information, there are pale children born in foreign lands who would qualify for ESL services if they moved to the U.S.  :roll: Whiteness doesn't ensure English proficiency with the snap of one's fingers.

Conservatives are always accusing liberals of being racist.  There you go giving them evidence.

Yeah, well I just wrote a post about my Grandparents and mom Norther European immigrants (white) who didn’t speak English when they came here so I’m pretty aware. My crappy opinion about you that came from your views about foreigners and ESL learners still stands.  The fact of the matter is that right NOW, the majority of ESL kids in Fairfax are brown.  A generation or two ago that wasn’t true, but it is now.  By calling for stand alone ESL classrooms/schools in 2025, you are putting mostly brown children out of the general education population. Whether that is racism or a fear of ESL kids, doesn’t really matter.  It is still creating otherness and segregating children and society based upon a single attribute (language).[/quote]
