 [b]Honestly, most parents who already have their kids in the immersion charter of their choice don't care.  [/b]After all, their kids are already in.  [/quote]
[i]Speak for yourself, YY mom or dad.[/i] Here at Stokes we don't appreciate how tough dcpc makes it for us to harness the bilingual inputs our school needs to offer high quality programs. In the suburbs, native speakers don't end up on a waiting lists running to 1,000 names for immersion programs! MD & VA do not need 2 lotteries like we do. Just because my kid is IN doesn't mean that I've lost my vision for 2-way immersion. I'll leave that to the YY boosters. [i]They can be relied on to reject cultural inputs that don't come from nervous teachers on 1-year work visas.[/i]

In the same vein, maybe you should consider speaking for your own school, not YY?  Since you're not there, and don't know the school or us.  Nobody's rejecting cultural inputs, and no teachers are nervous.  Do you believe everything that you read on anonymous fora on the internet?  The vast majority of YY parents would love 2-way immersion, but we can't change the law any more than you can.  Why the chip on your shoulder?  Is it because Stokes is the least desirable of the immersion charter schools?  What we can do, is start a language MS/HS that your children can attend.  You're welcome.[/quote]
