[quote=Anonymous]I don't personally have a problem with SSIMS -- I know lots of kids who go there and whose parents say good things about it.  And we did not intend to continue in immersion anyway, so it's a non-issue for us.

However, like it or not, many parents have made decisions about their kids' schooling based on their understanding of the option to continue on to Westland.  Such a change should be undertaken with transparency, openness, and the willingness to consider the immersion parents' position without a lot of accusations of trying to "game the system," which is what's happening now.

And I am really unhappy with the way the PTA is handling the whole issue.  There are neighborhood parents who are acting like the immersion kids are these sneaky interlopers, rather than the schoolmates of their children.  My children participate in some after-school activities where the group is mixed immersion/nonimmersion, and the hostility and resentment from some neighborhood parents is becoming depressingly evident.   After so many years at the school, it's really disheartening to see.
