[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those who don't want immersion, are you the same folks who don't want any Spanish speaking families in your neighborhood and fight any effort to bring affordable housing to higher priced Arlington neighborhoods?[/quote]

I don’t have an issue with immersion existing. I do have a problem with it being placed in Key zone with no neighborhood preference. At that point you are absolutely saying the option school is more important than the neighborhood’s needs.

So, every option school should have neighborhood preference?  And be based on the neighborhood's needs?  Option schools go somewhere, so it's always somebody's neighborhood.  I'm so sick of everyone insisting "we NEED" this and "we MUST HAVE" that.  But screw everyone else.  That's saying "we" are "absolutely more important" than anyone or anything else: the school system's needs, or the County's needs, or some other neighborhood's needs. [/quote]

I think that telling people in Rosslyn who otherwise lead car free lifestyles that their neighborhood school is 3 miles away at Taylor is more of a burden than having someone in the Nottingham zone go less than a mile to Tuckahoe or Discovery. But if we really can’t do that then yes, let’s get rid of option schools.[/quote]
