[quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent of two kids at RCF Spanish immersion. We value strongly learning a second language and would have happily gone to any of the immersion programs - applied to all and got RT and RCF spots. We chose RCF because it is full immersion (RT is only partial immersion). We have been thrilled with the school and have felt like a very welcome part of the community while there.

We live on the eastern part of the county and are hoping to be able to attend SSIMS for MS, mostly because getting to Westland would be a nightmare, but also because of the continued fighting over us at the MS and HS levels.

It's like wetland and BCC parents would do anything to make us feel like trespassers in THEIR community - that we should feel privileged that they let us stay, however tenuously, annually hearing fights about how we're not wanted. Everyone assumes we're just after the education that they've paid for and won't entertain the thought that we chose it for the language benefit - we're assumed to be liars and cheats of the system. It feels mean-spirited and segregationist and Elitist, as if they can't imagine that anyone wouldn't be desperately clawing for what they have over what I have. It makes me think that that isn't the community I want for my family, and compounded with the geography issue, is a reason we'll go to SSIMS. [/quote]
