[quote=Anonymous]We are inbounds for JKLM. But we attend a Spanish dual-language charter because DH is Latin American.

If this were not the case, I would still have lotteried for an immersion school (probably would have slept outside for Yu Ying). Speaking four languages has been very helpful for my international career. But it's also not a coincidence that I speak multiple languages and that I also married a foreigner.

At our school, parents are either: 1) native Spanish speakers; 2) married to a native Spanish speaker; 3) lived abroad or work internationally now; 4) speak Spanish for work/career reasons;     5) non-Spanish speakers from outside the US and want their child to be in an international environment; 6) gentrifiers with no international connections. This last group is by far the smallest group. I can count on one hand the individuals that fall into that category.

We have more and more World Bank types (from outside US, not necessarily Spanish speaking) at our school each year. WIS must have gotten really expensive....[/quote]
