[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what/who should decide the future of the school? Should research about what makes a two-way immersion model most successful? Should the realities of maintaining the needed student body? Should the principal? Should the parents? What should decide this. I believe the school should be structured around what is necessary to keep the TWI model most vibrant and functional. Looking at it from all angles, they seem to all point to changing the status of the school as a neighborhood school. Can someone "pro-neighborhood" explain how I'm wrong or show a model where the integrity of the twi model can be maintained within the confines of the current system? I think we all want what's best here.[/quote] Part of the challenge is that the boundary has two very different neighborhoods depending on which building you live near. We moved to boundary east of Connecticut not knowing there was the "Adams clause" and some kind of lingering neighborhood drama. :roll: It seemed a little weird at the time, but we had plenty of friends on both sides of Connecticut and proximity to boundary.

If you look at Adams side of boundary, then TWI makes sense as a neighborhood school. Even more so if Marie Reed were middle school feeder to Adams.

Oyster could be TWI as well. But it would probably have to use full immersion Spanish-only at PK level and maybe add PS3 Spanish only. Lots of places outside DC that don't have major target language populations use PS-PK as full immersion.
