[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does dual immersion mean that the kids white Silver Spring/Takoma Park residents have to actually be in classes with Hispanic students? They applied to immersion programs to avoid that. the horror![/quote]

Why are so many people posting ignorant, hateful comments? I hope this isn't representative of the community at large. Also, there are many hispanic children in Spanish immersion programs. [/quote]

People are terrible, but it is also true that the immersion program was much whiter and more Anglophone than the general student population at Rolling Terrace. It is also true that there was tension between the immersion families and the academy families, much of which played out at the level of the PTA. All of this, of course, culminated in the Atlantic article a few years ago in which RT was held up as the poster child for white families taking over PTAs at majority minority schools in ways that worked to the detriment of the minority kids. I'm not sure how MCPS could have avoided making changes at Rolling Terrace after that article came out, honestly. [/quote]
