Interesting. So, I guess the nine non-English speaking kids in my DC's classroom don't need tons of extra attention from the teacher. And I guess they don't all sit together, speaking their native language, distracting the other students. You're right, ESL definitely doesn't affect our family.

Why on earth would you think that? Of course I can't do that. I rely on our public schools. Great trolling, though.

Adjacent pyramids. Let me know if you see anything off about this.
To be fair, the numbers by themselves might not be damning. It's the numbers plus the ridiculous way those boundaries are drawn that is the damning part.
And, those "ridiculous way those boundaries are drawn" was done many years ago because there was no other logical place to draw in order to fill Langley--which happens to border Arlington on one side, the Potomac pretty much on the other side, and McLean on a third side.
And, Herndon had low FARMS then. It was not ridiculous to draw those lines.
You can ignore her. She repeats it day and night with the hope that someone will believe her class warfare manifesto.
She’s the dcum clown.
Actually, no. I posted that and I live several high schools away from Herndon or Langley. Why don't you disprove it if you think it is not true. Has nothing to do with class warfare.
It's been disproven 50-11 times.
There was no time-traveling cabal of school board members who drew the boundaries in the nineties so that 20-30 years later, Herndon would be a high poverty, low prestige school.
Back then Herndon was sufficiently middle class for the people zoned for it not to be mad at Langley boundaries.
She don’t understand geography so good. McLean less than three miles away, Marshall not much further, and a river to the north. She thinks the river is a “ridiculous” boundary.
Silly DCUM clown.

Interesting. So, I guess the nine non-English speaking kids in my DC's classroom don't need tons of extra attention from the teacher. And I guess they don't all sit together, speaking their native language, distracting the other students. You're right, ESL definitely doesn't affect our family.

This is exactly what plenty of UMC families zoned for high ESL or high FRM schools are doing. Private schools are waiting with their jaws wide open, happy to accept just about any kid who satisfies 2/3 of the trifecta of tuition money, high test scores, and no behavior or learning disabilities.

DP. This type of statement seems to elevate ESL learners above others. It’s a big ration why the right has been able to attack the left so effectively.
It’s one thing to want good outcomes for everyone, but we shouldn’t be pushing the strong learners away to accommodate the week ones

Or they could just not be there in the first place.

Very Ketanji. Was that on purpose?
Those are things she can control, those kids are getting their education too. ESL has existed for many years.

Other than being sent to a classroom down the hall for the next grade up for the reading and writing unit, I was in the classroom with a mix of everyone and they with me. That meant I could help my classmates who were struggling with reading and writing, and the classmates who were good at math could help me. Math is where I struggled. I knew which classmates to ask for help, lol. That was the 1970s education model. It worked out well. Everybody in the classroom had a sense of their strengths and weaknesses, and we helped each other. We were all in it together. There wasn't built-in segregation like gifted programs that drove a wedge between the kids. The gifted and the not gifted coexisted together in the same room. There was no such division back then. We need to go back to that.
Exactly. Many kids are advanced in one subject but not across the board. I grew up with flexible groupings and it worked for *everyone*.
Another Gen X and my school had tracks - Track 1 was advanced, Track 2 regular classes and Track 3 was for students who wanted to take auto mechanics, plumbing, beautician classes, etc starting junior year. It also worked well. I don’t think we need to have students teaching other student students in our schools.
