[quote=Anonymous]I don't know that it's a tracking system that's expected to continue years from now. The backstory is that some number of kids in the oldest class (4th graders now? I can't keep track) were really struggling under the dual immersion program--falling behind in basic English/math skills as well as struggling in Chinese. During the second half of last year, the school, with the full cooperation of the parents of these struggling kids, determined that they weren't being served adequately by the current dual immersion model. So this year, this group of kids is learning Chinese in structured classes several hours a week (as opposed to being immersed 50% of the time) and receiving much more intense instruction in English.

I'd hope that as the school continues, the administration can figure out how to work with all kids mote intensely in earlier grades, so all kids in the school can get strong instructions in the basics and a switch away from dual immersion won't be necessary for any child.[/quote]
