[quote=Anonymous]A late reply but for others thinking this, but as the minority-language parent of bilingual kids, I wanted to add one thing to maybe your thought process about the decision that is maybe altruistic?? Only that, if you are not really sure, those of us who have bilingual homes/kids with languages not offered in DCPS so much (eg French, Chinese;), have a steep learning curve for our kids and low support for formal (grammar etc) instruction in these languages until high school -- and even as a second language in high school, it doesn't quite match with their dual-language needs as other kids are starting from a different place/level.

While I don't resent anyone's spot or choice to immerse in pre-k/ES school (no need to come for me! I understand the parental desire for it for your kids =D), if it's not something SUPER important to you and/or you don't think you'll continue/it's too far, I know many families who would be grateful for better chances in these very low-success lotteries.
