[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't the parents on the English side as happy?[/quote]

They are mad their kids didn't get into immersion.  They are unhappy that their kids have to go to school with children who live in the apartments on the other side of Weast West Highway, who might be (gasp!) low income and even worse, (gasp!) not white.  They feel that immersion takes away from the feel of a neighborhood school (ridiculous) and gets more attention and resources (also ridiculous, considering that the immersion classes have more kids in them with the same number of teachers and immersion teachers have to create their own materials).  They are mad that the PTA has more immersion parents on it (don't even know where to go on that one).

They are also, secretly, mad that immersion kids get to go on to Westland and BCC while often paying less for their houses, an issue compounded by the fact that in Checy Chase, the RCF area houses are the cheapest and crummiest.  They feel that immersion is a way for parents to cheap out on housing and get the same opportunities that their kids get.  Most are not well off so they've had to stretch for a house in the RCF area and it makes them resentful both of richer CC families and the immersion families.[/quote]

You really need some medication. You are crazy and way off base.[/quote]
