[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask for the data form these immersion experiments. Does it make a difference for native English speakers? Or [b]is it just a fancy excuse to bus kids in to communities with high populations of native Spanish soeajers to increase the school’s report card?[/b] Everyone I know who started in one has left once they saw what was behind the curtain[/quote]

This is a weird critique, since most of the kids at WTPES and BMES are coming from elsewhere in the down-county, and RCFES is a BCC feeder.

Yes, RCF feeds into BCC which is why the immersion program is primarily made up of [b]families trying to escape the DCC schools[/b].[/quote]

This is so accurate. I have had multiple families articulate exactly this and express zero interest or passion for their kid learning Spanish. It's very annoying. [/quote]

Annoying for homeowners in RCF who have kids in Spanish immersion but paid $$$ more than a homeowner from Wheaton  who's kid also attends RCF Immersion? Many families enter lottery to escape their neighborhood school. Handful of families from west of RCF but bulk applying tends to be from DCC or east county.[/quote]
