[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People the liability excuse is just a cover for the real reason - equity.

If all kids can’t have it then no kids can.

BTW a PR trip at a hotel is not immersion and not anywhere close to the same experience.  Also watch and wait if there is even approval for this since there is a cost and it’s not equitable. [/quote]

You say that as if it's the wrong thing. Of course if not all can go, nobody should go. If equity is such a big deal for you, go to a private school. I bet you can afford it.

You are so entitled and elitist, it's gross. You know, OA has a lot of good things but one bad thing is people like you, who look down on everyone and think they are superior to everyone else.

I hope this new principal ignores all your temper tantrums and does what she need to do to make OA MORE equitable. [/quote]

Nobody is looking down on anybody.  You are making incorrect assumptions.
You don’t make things more equitable by taking away options that strengthen a child’s experience.  You find a way to offer it to those who don’t have that option.

People like you and your way of thinking is what is driving families with options away from DCPS and the resources they provide and why more then 1/2 the kids in this city opt out.

As someone said earlier, Adams is not that great and coasting on its reputation.  Making it equitable at all costs without seeing the big picture will further drive away families.  Good luck with that.[/quote]

The families in the OA zone already have by right access to an immersion program that most other DC families do not have the same access.  Immersion schools should be district wide schools.  It is a shame that Latino families in Colombia Heights and Brightwood aren’t afforded equal access to these opportunities.
