Today, during the 3 hour staff meeting, the teachers talked about the upcoming year's students and the potential problems that may arise with certain students.
Of the 120 or so in-coming 1st grade junior high students, they have identified 52 as students with "issues." The whole time, I was thinking... "Are you for real? If that's the case, then you guys are in big trouble."
Although I didn't understand everything, some of the "issues" they pointed out was...not so ordinary to me.
Example 1) Student "L," she will be a 3rd grader soon. She has Chinese citizenship, but since she speaks Japanese, she seems to be ok.
Example 2) Student "N," his mother is Filipina.
Ummm...wha? What's nationality and ethnicity gotta do with anything?!
