[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starting immersion for PK and then stopping in a few years is no big deal. Look, PK is a lot more like daycare than elementary school (K, on the other hand, is more like the rest of elementary than PK, by a lot). Would you get your kid a Spanish speaking nanny or send them to an immersion daycare? Then they can do immersion PK and it's fine. You absolutely do not need to commit to it for the rest of their education, and in fact many people who expect to go the distance with it later decide they don't like how immersion programs sometimes inhibit other learning and choose to leave in elementary.

As for where you should lottery, if you are IB for Payne, I'd do

Miner (almost guaranteed)
Appletree (good chance of getting in)
JO Wilson (good chance of getting in)
Lee Montessori East End (good chance of getting in)
Stokes East End French (medium chance, better than for Spanish track)
Stokes East End Spanish (medium chance of getting in)
Two Rivers, both campuses (low chance of getting in but not out of the question, especially off waitlist)
CHMS (almost no chance of getting in)
SWS (literally takes a miracle)

I would not bother to list Maury, Brent, or Ludlow Taylor. You can list Van Ness but it's unlikely and if you are leaning this way, I'd just do Payne. I think ITS is way too far of a commute for you -- do you know where it is? If you are considering it, and are actually okay with that commute, go ahead and add it, but I think that's going to get really old very fast.[/quote]

Sorry, where I wrote Payne please replace with Tyler, I got them switched in my head.[/quote]
