[quote=Anonymous]The chinese immersion program at College Gardens did not begin as a lottery. It was a program that was only available to families within that school's boundaries. Families bought into that boundary to send their children to the program. It was switched to a lottery system after complaints that not everybody had equal access. I'm sure there were families who spent more on housing to be in boundary that were quite upset. I live in a "less desirable" MoCo school cluster and know families in my neighborhood (and other neighborhoods)who have children in the immersion programs. The majority of the families have at least one parent that speaks the target language and have genuine desire to have their children learn in the target language. Is there an element of being "scared" of the lower SES homeschool, absolutely, but it is not so black and white.[/quote]
