[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the other post on this topic.  My daughter started German immersion at first grade. We went to Orange Hunt for elementary, and Irving right now for middle, and we were supposed to go to West Springfield to continue on in German. Our base school does not have German.  I’ve been emailing back-and-forth to the transfer office in the basic messages so out of luck. 
German is my daughter’s favorite class, all her friends have been together in it since first grade, and now she has to change in high school

If they had let me know, maybe we would’ve changed her mind about middle school and she is an anxious and shy child as well  her friends are important to her[/quote]

There’s no German Immersion at WSHS. Your special program ended. Back to base school. You should have established residency in the Orange Hunt boundary back in 2018 if you cared so much about the high school. [/quote]

Bless your heart.  [/quote]

We own a home in WSHS boundary that was going to be rezoned out because of all these language transfers in. Of course I’m salty.

German Immersion in an elementary level program. There is no German Immersion at the middle school and high school level and no room in the neighborhood schools for extra students. [/quote]

Immersion 100% continues in 8th grade, there is a language immersion specific class at the MS that the ESLI program feeds into. I know this is the case for Japanese and Korean. Maybe it is different for Spanish, French, and German and the kids move into the regular language class but at least Japanese and Korean Immersion continues in MS and then into HS[b] as the kids need two additional years of language if they taake language all 4 years.[/b]  [/quote]

It's not entirely clear to me if the expectation from colleges is that the kids have a total of 4 years of a WL or have a WL all 4 years of HS (which could have some kids taking 6 years of the language).[/quote]

There is no 6 years of the language available.  It would be 2 years of a new language if they want 4 years of high school language, which means they should not be allowed language transfers in 11th or 12th grade.

All those immersion kids should be sent back to their neighborhood schools since the transfer need ends in 10th grade.[/quote]

I believe AP language is a 5th year of the language. And most of the schools have a DE class for the immersion language served at the school. Is there a reason you want to punish kids who have taken more language then most?[/quote]

Not at all.

Fcps jist needs to enforce their old rule and send them to open schools like Robinson, not closed schools like Irving and WSHS. [/quote]
