[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Undeniably true, yet Congress won't tweak the Federal law on charters to permit two lotteries for immersion schools. Real myopia on the part of lawmakers. Here in DC, overall, push factors are as strong, or stronger, in drawing parents to immersion charters as pull factors. The overwhelming majority of YY, LAMB, MV and Stokes families are escaping low performing in-boundary schools. Few families choose immersion charters over schools that are strongly high SES. The immersion charters mostly attract parents who wouldn't in fact go for immersion if they had a strong in-boundary school. Oyster is by far DC's strongest immersion program partly because the Oyster families have a strong/mostly high SES non-immersion alternative (Eaton). [/quote] This is absolutely not true. Our IB school is Lafayette. We know three other long term YY families in our neighborhood who also passed Lafayette for YY. [/quote]
