[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About moving the immersion schools close to the spanish speakers. You all make an assumption (as does the county) that the immigrants who live in the county's lower income housing are spanish speakers. A larger percentage are not.

My kid was at Claremont and a larger percentage of the spanish speakers were middle or upper middle class. They are educated professionals. That is why both Key and Claremont may be 50% spanish speakers, but not 50% free and reduced lunch. At a PTA meeting with a SB member, it was made very clear that if the SB wants more lower income families, it needs to educate those families about the options and why dual immersion is good for them. Many immigrants DO NOT WANT IMMERSION. They want their kids to learn english asap.

Sounds like another example of Democrats acting like they know what is best for people instead of listening to what those people think is best for them.  Because the SB will not give up on the notion that immersion has to be close to Spanish speaking communities. [/quote]

Exactly. Parents who have almost no experience with formal education are making the most informed choices... [/quote]
