[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arl Traditional, Montessori and HB Woodlawn all have established base cases for existing (although I question ATS). Still, I think language immersion is most vulnerable in long run. The 50-50 requirement was failing hard before pandemic. The language pedagogy, if you can call it, seems to be relative, according to linguists and native speakers.  I have seen two generations of APS parents complain their kid nothing. Above all, a immersion has a bad look[b] because it clearly exists to serve the extreme demands of rich white N.Arl folks[/b]. The fact is the majority of APS households are bilingual already and dont want to play that game in school, they just want their kid safely and reliably.[/quote]
I think it exists in large part to allow people to flee their S. Arlington school without feeling racist [/quote]

Our S Arlington neighborhood school is considered one of the "good" S Arlington schools and we still chose immersion.  We plan to stick with it through HS.  There are lots of immersion schools all around the country.  APS should add more immersion schools, and add more languages.[/quote]
