[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Residency fraud allows a lot of poor students in Fairfax to go to lower farm schools.[/b] That’s a big reason why they won’t ever touch this.

It’d hurt equity more than help it.[/quote]

Unlikely. The AAP or LI escape hatch is available to any student in FCPS if they want out of a high FARMS classroom. In high school it's the AP/IB or language transfer loophole. In any case, people don't care that much about kids who live in Fairfax fudging their addresses to go to a different school in the county. People care deeply about kids who don't live in Fairfax attending FCPS unless their parents are paying the out of district tuition.[/quote]

LI only works if you are able to get a slot. The Spanish, French, and German programs have huge waitlists. The Korean and Japanese programs tend to have smaller wait lists that move but not a lot of people are interested in those languages. The Fox Mill classes are pretty much always full, but it sounds like Great Falls has space in their class. The Korean program right now is at Powell ES, but I know little about it. It looks like there is interest in starting a second Korean program at Halley ES. The problem with the immersion programs is that your child has to participate in the language and, for MS and HS, take that language in order to pupil place at schools.

Why go through that trouble when you can lie about an address and attend without locking your kid into a specific language? [/quote]
