[quote=Anonymous][quote]Why are the immersions not magnets? Are the HGCs magnets?[/quote] HGCs are magnets. Your child must test to get in to one of these. The immersions are simply a lottery system. My son "won the lottery" for one of the immersion schools and we decided not to attend, partially for the commute time. I think it would be a "ridiculous" situation if this was the OP's home school, but this is an immersion program that OP has chosen to have her child attend. I have friends in the same situation and they make due--car pooling, adjusting work schedules, driving their children to other bus stops to reduce the commute somewhat, or just letting the children ride the bus. If it doesn't work for your child then you can always transfer him/her back to the home school. OP, you should definitely see what can be done, but don't expect anything. Every year cuts to the busing budget for magnets and immersions are always on the table.[/quote]
