[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Argument: RCF immersion kids don't have to stay together.
Counter-argument: Yes they do! Kids in Damascus will be disadvantaged.

The counter-argument is a straw man: a misrepresentation of the opponent's position, given that the opponent was not talking about kids in Damascus -- IF there are no kids in Damascus in RCF immersion.

Plus, anyway, why are you chopping logic? All I did was wonder whether there are kids from Damascus in RCF immersion, which seems to me a reasonable question, given the distance.[/quote]

Ah see now this is straw man...  You say I responded to why "immersion  kids don't have to stay together "with "Damascus kids will be disadvantaged "when no such exchange took place.

In fact, a poster said they don't care about whether their kid goes to Westland because SSIMS is their home school.  My response was those in Damascus or almost anywhere else in the county have to care because they don't have immersion at their homeschool.

You replaced the original argument that preceded my post with a fake "straw man" argument that never happened.[/quote]
