+1. What's the point of threads like this?  The chance of your kid getting into any of the immersion language charters is what?  1 in 10 or less?  Last yr Mundo verde had 1000+ on their waitlist, etc.

Whenever I see threads like this, it's always seems like the fox saying the grapes are sour so why bother...[/quote]

Really, you don't understand the point?  Maybe the point is: the deadline for the common lottery is fast approaching.  You only get 12 choices.  If you are thinking you value bilingual ed but you don't speak a 2nd language yourself, you may wonder whether it is doing your child a disservice to put several bilingual schools as your first choices.

That seems like good research and asking the right questions, i.e. good parenting on a critical issue for a family.  You still need to make choices and you want them to be informed choices.  Why is this such a mystery to you, even if the odds are not good?  [/quote]

Or you're like OP and you do speak more than one language, but not the languages of the schools you're considering applying to.  Still, the point is right, it's a very reasonable question, no mystery there about why it's asked.[/quote]
