Funny, the 2,000+ Immersion families feel differently. But good luck swaying the SB to your way of thinking[/quote]

Most of Claremont immersion is people escaping underperforming schools not a drive for immersion. Many kids are in Key b/c it is their neighborhood school and just easier for the parents. And it’s popular for parents that speak Spanish since it caters to them; we have a large Mongolian population too, should we build a program that just caters to them?  We don’t have the space or luxury for immersion where it is now,[b] unclear if there is space anywhere for that full population[/b] [/quote]

"Hey guys - our schools are way too crowded. All of you Spanish speakers are gonna have to move to Fairfax..."[/quote]

Or they could attend a neighborhood school with the rest of the neighborhood.[/quote]

Yeah no problem if there's space at a particular school. But that's the thing: the option schools are pulling from a lot of different areas, some of which are dealing with massive overcrowding in their n'hood school. Say a couple hundred kids all of a sudden flow back into Oakridge or Glebe, which are already overcrowded? It could have some negative consequences. In any case, this is a moot point because the option schools aren't going anywhere.[/quote]
