[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's get real. You have families trying to get into RCF immersion just to go to Westland MS. Driving their kid or their kid taking two buses to go to a West county predominantly white MS (Westland) is not a big deal for families trying to escape their "diverse" home middle school. [/quote]

It's funny because when boundary changes are brought up all we hear about is how the people in the "diverse" home schools don't want to travel far and that nobody actually wants the boundary changes.[/quote]

Have you talked to RCF Spanish immersion parents? If they don't admit trying to escape, they are not being fully honest. Yes you will find some who entered lottery only because they want the kid to learn the language to communicate with grandparents or extended family in Spain etc. You have families within the RCF neighborhood school boundary trying to get their kid into Spanish immersion to escape (white flight) the neighborhood RCF school (the classes that are only in English just as other MCPS non-immersion schools). [/quote]

I have, the ones I know travel from the Wootton cluster because they really want the Spanish immersion. Have you talked to any families at all? Of course the commute is a big deal.[/quote]

Exactly, trying to leave the Wonton 'hood. Some parents work in areas where RCF is simply on the way to work. You can get to Westland from Wonton easily and I know because I have done that commute to get into NW DC. [/quote]

So you haven't talked to any families lol[/quote]
