Title: Article: As China's Power Grows, So Do Chinese Programs in Public Schools
Body: From http://www.boston.com/news/education/k_12/articles/2007/03/11/as_chinas_power_grows_so_do_chinese_programs_in_public_schools As China's power grows, so do Chinese programs in public schools By Adam Gorlick, Associated Press Writer | March 11, 2007 EASTHAMPTON, Mass. --In Alaska, students are calling their teacher "lao shi." In Illinois, they're learning that one plus one equals "er." And in western Massachusetts, kindergarten students who can sing their ABCs will soon start honing Mandarin accents. Chinese, it seems, is becoming the new Latin in public schools. At least 27 states offer Chinese language classes in either elementary, middle or high schools. And according to the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington D.C., there are 12 public and private immersion schools across the country where most subjects are taught exclusively in Mandarin Chinese. "It's about jobs and a world economy," said Richard Alcorn, who spearheaded the first Chinese immersion charter school in Massachusetts with his wife, Kathleen Wang. "There are unbelievable opportunities to do business in China, so there's a need for Americans to learn the language so we're not left out."

Title: Fairfax Schools Concede On Testing LEP Students
Body: From http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/18/AR2007041802375.html?hpid=sec-education Fairfax Schools Concede On Testing: Compromise Made On Limited English By Maria Glod Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, April 19, 2007 Fairfax County school officials backed down yesterday from a vow to defy federal testing rules for students with limited English skills, saying they would give most of those students grade-level reading exams even if they were likely to stumble on items dealing with metaphors, poetry or other difficult material. The decision marked a sharp turnabout for educators in the state's largest school system, who had led others in Virginia in opposition to the federal law. It also defused a confrontation over the federal No Child Left Behind law that had drawn wide attention. The local educators repeatedly have argued that it is unfair to have students who are beginning to learn to speak, read and write English take reading tests that mirror those given to native speakers. The Fairfax School Board passed a resolution in January that gave Superintendent Jack D. Dale authority to defy the rules and instead administer tests for English learners that he considered more appropriate. But federal officials, who contended that grade-level tests were necessary to measure student progress, had threatened to withhold an estimated $17 million in aid to Fairfax schools if they failed to comply. The federal officials said money for other school systems considering a testing rebellion also would be in jeopardy.
