[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How in the world can they do this and not have a test-in middle school? I can only imagine the demographics of this first group, given the short turn-around and need for a passport. [/quote]

lots of children of immigrants have passports, too--they need them if they go to their parents' country of birth.[/quote]

[b]Wasn't thinking about all the children of Columbia Heights[/b] -- was thinking more of the third-generation folks of SE in 11th grade at Ballou.[/quote]

Well, then thank previous PP for expanding your thinking.[/quote]

I guess the PP thinks that only (certain) poor kids deserve to study abroad for free.   :roll: [/quote]

I'm the pp and I was only thinking about how many students at Deal have passports as opposed to Elliot Hine. Not hating on the children of immigrants.[/quote]

Really?  Are there a lot of IB Deal students residing in Columbia Heights?  Nice try, but your post clearly indicates that you think that children of immigrants are the less deserving poor for these study abroad trips.[/quote]

WRONG -- living eotr, I was only seeing this in regards to poor black and weathy white. I am guilty of forgetting about the native Spanish speakers.[/quote]
