[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if they could make it work through the elementary boundary study to have a two-way Spanish immersion school in every region, with space for a class of out-of-bounds kids in every grade who could lottery in?[/quote]

Interesting idea, but isn't part of the issue that the initial data on the TWI model (as implemented by MCPS) isn't great?[/quote]

They should absolutely fix the implementation issues identified in the report but the data is kind of ridiculous and not a reason to abandon the model. They should also speak with the families involved to better understand the issues[/quote]

Yeah, I'm not advocating they abandon the model, but I'm not sure the data currently makes the case for expanding the model.[/quote]

Where is the OWI data that makes the case for expanding the OWI model?[/quote]

Good question.  AFAIK, MCPS does not make that data available.  At the same time, the long, long waitlists provide some inkling that they are valuable.[/quote]

They're the only way to get a free ticket out of a local elementary school that parents find undesirable.  They are always going to be seen as valuable and have high demand for that reason alone.[/quote]
