[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is mostly an opt out ghetto schools program, if you like your home school just pay for language classes and do the local school.  Best of both worlds

Obviously you know little about the program. I sent two kids to one program and my kids were zoned to a “better” home school. One of our kid’s closest friend went to another of the immersion programs (different language) and again zoned out of a “better” school to do it.

After school language classes will not provide the level of fluency that these kids have by doing immersion. The people who send their kids to immersion programs really value bilingualism. [/quote]

Just look at the directory at RCF, at least 90 percent of the immersion kids come from Silver Spring or the Einstein part of Kensington. [/quote]

I mean, RCF is literally 100 yards from the Silver Spring line, and a couple miles from Kensington. It is the nearest full immersion program to those neighborhoods, so if a family wants immersion, it makes sense they would apply to RCF rather than a immersion program on the other side of the county.
