Who is eligible for the Westland MS?  What percentage of 5th graders are even eligible to apply?  0.0007%?[/quote]

Exactly.  Not many kids are going to be able to attend the Westland program.  Not really a ‘choice’ for the majority of families in the County. [/quote]

There is no school in the county that students from a majority of families in the county are going to be able to attend. It isn't possible for there to be such a thing.

Now, if you were interested in a more limited argument, like "There ought to be an ES-MS Spanish immersion program in the upcounty," that might be useful.[/quote]

Oh, please.  Someone posted all these MSs as if MCPS were actually offering families a choice. We were just pointing out that there really is just an illusion of choiceX. Very few families are even eligible for these MS programs. Not really a ‘choice’.

And that’s not an argument that I’m interested in.  I’d prefer MCPS offers Spanish for kids starting in K and going all the way through.  As is done in other school districts.  [/quote]
