[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This should highlight the lack of language immersion EOTR. [/quote]
Houston Elementary is a DCPS immersion school EOTR.[/quote]

Are you seriously saying that having one program east of the river isn’t lacking? ONE PROGRAM. From where I live in ward 8, that is over a 30 minute drive or over an hour and a half on public transit. [/quote]

Quoting myself because I really want PP to come back and defend their response that Houston elementary and stokes ee are immersion programs and how that's good enough for two large wards. [/quote]

NP— PP just named a language immersion school EOTR, but didn’t say anything about that being “good enough.” Not sure what you want them to defend.[/quote]

You're right. Maybe I did some mental gymnastics to get there but the response of the name of one dcps elementary school to my "This should high light the lack of language immersion EOTR" caught me off guard.

1) I am educated enough to know Houston elementary has language immersion and educated enough to know it's on this side of the river. However, naming one school an hour and 30 minutes public transit ride away shouldn't be a solution. Especially compared to the accessibility of WOTR.

2) Naming one school EOTR to my comment, to me, is still highlighting the lack of programs. Maybe PP didn't mean it that way but it came across as "but you have Houston elementary" and I would challenge anyone saying that's enough.

My apologies if I was out of line but I have a feeling that's what they meant. They are welcome to come back and say that isn't how they meant it though. [/quote]

PP- thanks for explaining. Makes sense. I don’t think you were out of line, but I do think the fact that you offered your apologies in case you were makes you a rarity on this board. I appreciate your civility.[/quote]
