[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could see not sending, say, a child with special needs or a learning  disability to an immersion school (of any language).  It would be sensory overload.  But absent that, the gift of learning a second  language is compelling. [/quote]

It is compelling, but immersion is not needed to learn languages.
I’ve learned three languages, and none of them via immersion.

Correct me if I’m wrong; there have been more people opting OUT of immersion in the Key zone than in.
This is how we got to the odd swapped attendance zone scenario. 
With ASFS filled with kids from the Key attendance zone.[/quote]

But how much of that is people in love with the concept of ASFS moving to the Key zone because they want their kids to go to ASFS? (We live in the Key zone and have neighbors who did this. No idea if they're more or less common than people moving to Nottingham or whereever because they love Nottingham.)

If people in LV couldn't go to ASFS but had to be bused to Taylor, I wonder how many of them would discover an interest in Spanish immersion.[/quote]
