[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 30 kids, if that is indeed the number, is an enormous amount to add to an already crowded school.  That can push population numbers to require one more bus, one more classroom.

If the advanced student population at BCC is your desire then feel free to buy or rent in our cluster.

Two things.First,  Immersion students don't have a bus at BCC.

Second, the advanced student population described in the post above yours has nothing to do with BCC.  It's the advanced language skills of the immersion students themselves which makes the class stronger.  Place the immersion kids in any school collectively it doesn't have to be in the BCC.

With the immersion students at B-CC you have some very advanced Spanish students. Unfortunately based on school policy this means that "advanced" non-immersion Spanish students are placed in class with immersion students starting in Spanish 5 which can create a big challenge for non-immersion students. This is an administration policy, which I'm guessing could be  changed, but has had an adverse impact and I know of several non-immersion students who dropped Spanish after sophomore year due to this.[/quote]

It also means that the immersion students are bored to tears so nobody wins.[/quote]
