[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the people I know who applied to immersion did so to try and avoid the DCC.  Doing away with the BCC option might encourage people who aren't actually that interested in the immersion aspect to stick with their neighborhood schools or move.  [/quote]

Most people in Sligo and rolling terrace are from the DCC and some from Bethesda attend these programs so what's your point?[/quote]

I know parents who sent their kids to Rolling Terrace and then tested them into Rock Creek Forest later (a younger sibling was admitted there) so that they could go to BCC.  All to avoid DCC.

All anecdotal...  If you go to RCF it's cause you want to go to BCC, if you go to Rolling Terrace it's cause you want to go to test in later...  Sheesh.  Many want to go to RCF because its full immersion by the way.   I know for a fact that at you do not know every family in immersion or their motivations and it doesn't even matter.  Bottom line is it makes sense for kids to continue on in a cluster they've been in whether its BCC, Gaithersburg or wherever.[/quote]

Yes it's anecdotal but it's definitely a primary motivation for a number of families I've spoken to.  [/quote]

same here. And a lot of the current Westland parents are making the argument against this change by saying that if they had known earlier they would have tried to get their kids in another magnet program, which says to me that they will do all they can to avoid sending their kids into the general population at the DCC schools.
