Anyway the school she would have gone to in lieu had she not continued in French immersion is (her words not mine) a rich school. Those kids get to go on all kinds of neat trips.. (skiing etc..) I wonder who pays for all those extras and I wonder if those same folks get to have any effect on policy ?

I think it is a fairness policy. If you don't have a lot of "poor kids" then the teachers can arrange these trips. As far as I know, the parents pay for the trips......Thus if there are many kids who are on assistance no one gets to go........ Schools get a break on hotels and stuff, and it is good for the kids......
