[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly happens with thei neighborhood parents resenting the immersion families? Our base school is Sligo and none of the families we know that go there talk about resentment but I've heard it happens there too. [/quote] Immersion families tend to be very involved, and have a higher SES than neighborhood families are (by and large) - which is why the program is located in that school (as opposed to say, at Burning Tree). That often translates to immersion classrooms having lots of room volunteers, donated supplies, etc. Add to that, that the program is immersion (highly desirable), and that many of the neighborhood families wanted their kids to attend but didn't win the lottery, and that's fertile ground for resentment. Never fear, though; with the implementation of Curriculum 2.0, immersion or not, everyone will be working at the same (middling) level anyway. :roll:[/quote]
