[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where will Key immersion be moved to?[/quote]
Either Carlin Springs, ATS, or Barcroft.[/quote]

Makes no sense.  They are taking something that is working very well and have decided to ruin it.  Who hates immersion so much?[/quote]

No one.  Have you read the analysis or are you simply getting upset? They are advocating that immersion schools should be closer to dense populations of native Spanish speakers. Changes in residential patterns means that you have more pockets of native Spanish elsewhere than in the current Key area, and by moving immersion schools closer you might get more native Spanish participation than if you put it somewhere further from them.[/quote]

Seems more like rich white people shoving off immersion to s Arlington.  Key is in n Arlibgton now and has a good balance.  And it was a partial neighborhood school.  So that dog won’t hunt.  [/quote]

No, there aren't enough Spanish speakers living near Key. They have to bus them in now. So now it's the rich white people's turn to get on a bus. Key will still be a more economically diverse school, though, just because there are some CAFs in the R-B corridor. ASFS could be pretty diverse, too. But the families currently there will mostly get rezoned to Key. [/quote]
[b]Not all of the white families at Key are rich, you clueless fake lefty hypocrite.[/quote][/b]

So what you're saying is that there is a substantial/statistically significant number of disadvantaged white children at Key who would like to continue Immersion and would face hardship by being bused to another location? Is it a higher number than the number of economically disadvantaged Spanish speakers who would have to take a bus into Key in order to maintain the 50/50 split? If yes, show me the receipts. [/quote]
Geez, don’t you know that there is a big difference between rich and disadvantaged? And don’t you know that not everyone who is bussed to Key is disadvantaged? Unlike you, I am a Key parent and I know who goes to Key. You are just an outsider wagging your finger at us, pretending like you give a shit about disadvantaged kids when you are secretly happy with the result.[/quote]
