[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know from the Post article that 47% of the participants are white. But how many of the applicants are white? How many are each of the other races/ethnicities?

According to the choice study, 45% of the applicants were White, 17% Black, 18% Hispanic for the year they did the evaluation. They only evaluated one year, so there obviously will be some variability of those numbers each year. [/quote]

MCPS is only 21% black. If 17% of the applicants to immersion programs were black, seems like lots of black folks know about it.

I suspect that Jawando was always planning to send his kid to private. I'm sure this investigation will mainly serve to divert money away from instructional needs and possibly bring about the end of immersion programs altogether. I think it is absolutely infuriating that someone who has not even had a child in MCPS would advocate for expanding immersion when there are so many pressing budget issues and a rapidly expanding FARMS population. I agree with him, that there is a huge unmet need in foreign language instruction, but, given our current budget environment and demographic realities, I'm not sure this should be a county priority. Most of the parents I know, would prefer to see money spent on expanding differentiated instruction for high performing students in ES and MS in our down county schools.[/quote]
