[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there are few options but to move the start to first grade.  Maybe if you don't want immersion enough to move your child after K, you should just stay where you are.[/quote]

Many and maybe even the majority of the parents are drawn to the immersion program to get their kids out the the general populations of their home schools. While I am sure they want the best education for their kids too, just not enough to move to better areas. [/quote]

How do you know this? We are zoned for a school that is probably not highly regarded by the W folks, but honestly it was all about immersion for us and every other person in the neighborhood we know who applied. Honestly that we would be in another cluster beyond elementary wasn't even on our radar.  I think you are just snobby and assume people on the east side are trying to get out of their schools.[/quote]

I think it would be very interesting to see how many kids from the W clusters and BCC cluster apply to immersion programs vs. those from the DCC and other less regarded clusters. I bet you that the vast majority come from the latter. I know that in the RCF immersion program the vast majority of kids are from outside the cluster, mostly from the DCC, I think that says something.[/quote]

My kids are at wood acres and I don't know anybody who was intrested. The thought of adding to commutes only to lose the ability to help your children lean by assisting with their home work during the early years seems like an act of desperation. I'll send them to study abroad later if they really want to learn a  language of their choice.  If I was trying to flee my local school maybe I would consider it then.[/quote]

Wood Acres has fewer than 5% of its children on FARMS and is majority white.  It IS white flight.  [/quote]
