[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is 9th grade at BCC. Two of his closest friends (one 9th, one 10th) made at Westland were historically immersion students.  for those kids, it would have been tough to start high school with no peer group back at the home school.

Part of the issue with no need to continue to BCC seems to be curriculum.  Although Spanish Immersion at Westland has 2 immersion kids only classes in 6th & 7th grade (Spanish at a more advanced level & world studies taught in Spanish), the 8th grade Westland Spanish class is open to non-immersion students and the high school classes are open to non-immersion.   So, as long as the "home" high school has fairly advanced Spanish (not all do), there is no curricular reason to attend BCC.

There is a very strong social reason to attend.

I would agree that the primary reason continuation should be granted is social.  Where I would disagree with you slightly is that the peer group for advanced classes is just as or more important than the class itself.  Its like taking the same class at Harvard and at a community college.[/quote]
