[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are all you white people seriously talking about what “Spanish speaking “ families will or will not do?
Do you see how racist this is? Any chance you are interested in asking the Key families or are you planning to rely on the website made by ASFS supporters posing as Key supporters?

No, the wypipo are pointing out where the majority of Hispanic families actually live. Hint: not near Key, not any longer. That seems to be a more significant point than what the current Key families, regardless of language/ethnicity, want right now. This is a question of what makes sense for the future of immersion and for equity. If the point of immersion is to benefit the maximum number of Spanish-dominant kids and families as well as Anglos, and to encourage equal applications and participation in the program, wouldn’t it stand to reason that the program should be located closer to Hispanic communities? I mean, that’s what all the Key parents have said at SB meetings. How vital and important the program is to them and how it benefits them, as well as their kids, by making them feel part of their child’s education, and included and accepted because they don’t need a translator for every meeting or activity and it puts them on equal footing with their Anglo counterparts. So, do we leave Key where it is so that a small subset of Hispanic parents has easy access, while the majority of Hispanics in Arlington have to take a long bus ride to access the same? [/quote]
