[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]+1. And time and again MCPS leadership seems so baffled that they're not getting the student demographics they are looking for participating in these immersion programs. [b]It's really only workable with a SAHP or if happen to live close to the school where your kid was accepted.[/b] The dual-immersion programs sound great and were we house hunting now we'd target somewhere in one of those, but it's a shame that there's such a disparity between the experience in immersion/dual immersion and kids that get no foreign language instruction at all until MS. I'd be curious to know what they are doing at Highland as a less-resource intensive option. Kids are such sponges for learning languages when they are younger and it's a shame more effort isn't putting into language instruction at the ES level.[/quote]

I'm not sure from this comment whether you know that bussing is provided for immersion programs. Now, you might decide the bus ride doesn't work for your kid or your family, but it's there. So, I put my immersion kid in before-care at our home school, they put him on the bus to the immersion program and then take him off the bus at the end of the day. From my perspective as a WOH single parent, it's exactly the same as having him at our home school. [/quote]

I thought availability of buses varies by program?[/quote]

Also the stops- the buses don't necessarily stop at all nearby ESs, which would enable parents to put DCs in before/aftercare at the home school like PP describes.  Definitely seems more feasible when that is the case.[/quote]
