[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^i agree about the elephant in the room. Our schools are not effectively handling or teaching recent immigrants. They don’t speak English and can’t read or write in Spanish either. It’s completely different than educating the previous low income populations. [/quote]

Our neighborhood school has had a huge influx of recent immigrants. The vast majority are very sweet kids who try their best, as do their parents. The teachers and school staff work incredibly hard to make sure the kids' needs are met and the families feel welcome. I have no doubt most of the kids will catch up in due time. However, FCPS definitely saw this coming and IMO did not prepare well. Our elected officials were hesitant to lobby the federal government for more help and have done nothing to change the LCI to keep more of our money in the area. Paying for the extra resources needed has  fallen on the local taxpayers, which is hugely unfair given the amount we send downstate. [/quote]
