[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest problem for immersion is that the swap, as currently envisioned/planned, means that the immersion program will have to shrink.  There are going to be a lot of [b]kids who are interested in immersion who won't be able to get a spot.  [/b]That may not be as important to some, but its a real cost to the school system as a whole.  [/quote]

They aren’t attracting enough native spanish speakers to meet the 50/50 ratio; most of the kids clamoring for a spot at Key immersion are coming from So Arlington, and are white MC families escaping from their neighborhood school not actively seeking Immersion in truth. [/quote]

You are correct, int hat that its possible that in a different location there will be less demand for immersion.  But its hard to know that until its too late.

Its still hard for me to understand why its so important that the current Key building be converted to a neighborhood school.  Its housed Key for over 25 years.  Every person who lives nearby has known that its not a standard neighborhood school (though until recently close-by neighbors could get into Key by right).[/quote]

It has nothing to do with Key. It has to do with ASFS becoming a neighborhood school, but being located outside it’s neighborhood.

Honestly not sure why that is an issue, I know FCC has a school on land it rents from fairfax, so it’s not even in their school district. [/quote]
