[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re voting for trump because they’re racist morons. No other explanation. [/quote]

I'm a teacher. Do you honestly think a class in which 75% or more of the students are learning English as a second language doesn't impact the instructional pace? That's not a racist comment. It's a big challenge for the teachers and students. [/quote]

Can you provide some data showing that 75% of the kids in Sterling are in ESL? [/quote]

You can find that on the Virginia DOE school profile website.  We are next door. Years ago, there was a boundary change to our ES to bring in kids 5 miles away due to an exploding ESL population. They had no more room so rezoned them to our school. Our school went from 25% low income to over 60% in several years. Guess what went out the window? Special services for kids who were already there. This happened to my neighbors. Their kids' reading problems were never addressed. One mom fought  but was told her below grade reading level child was reading well enough not to require services. Other things like homework, reading novels, reading groups for advanced readers, science fairs, people fairs were out. Parent events were greatly reduced. If your child was advanced, they were often placed in groups with language learners. So yes, there is an impact.[/quote]
