[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is fascinating to me how people have spun this issue into somehow Williamsburg should take a Spanish immersion program.

I don’t have a dog in this fight and it won’t affect my kids but if you people get your way it will be a real exhibit for APS’s dysfunction.

Stop listening to the self-interested parents APS.  They are dogged and will never quit.  Ultimate entitled behavior.[/quote]

Because the Immersion “Visioning” team isn’t self interested at all. [/quote]

Everyone agrees they need to leave Gunston.  They'd probably rather stay at Gunston and kick out the neighborhood kids.  That would be self-interest.

Instead you all want to move them to the complete opposite end of the County where their program is pretty sure to fail over time.  And then if the current and future students don't try hard enough to get there this proves the program was a waste of time and people didn't really want to go all that much.  That's the actual argument!!

And the main reason is you don't want Boopsy and Schmoospy to be separated from even some of their friends or have to ride a bus.

It's pretty fantastic to watch though.[/quote]

It's not fantastic if they are derailing a plan that makes sense in the long run for their kid to finish 3 years at Hamm and then they don't care at ALL what happen to the families left in their wake.[/quote]

You are so uninformed. The elementary school parents are the ones upset not current middle school parents. Because students will now be bused to far away WMS rather than the closer local middle school in perpetuity.

This isn’t a “it will go away problem”.  The impacted Hamm and Swanson family will campaign against this idiotic boundary for decades.  I know parents with kids in diaper who are up in arms. [/quote]
