[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t all DCPS elementary schools have language once a week? It’s just that, which is an exposure class, it’s not an partial immersion program like at Oyster or Bancroft.[/quote]

Just dropping by to share the correct terminology.  Oyster-Adams offers full Spanish immersion in Pk4 and K.  It’s dual immersion (2-way) from 1st through 8th.[/quote]

“Dual imm——n” means “lots of English”

Same is true for most DCPS elementaries — the immersion is only for up to K and then it basically turns into so much English that the kids don’t progress in Spanish[/quote]

No dear.  My children attend/attended OA, and your children clearly do not.  My children are bilingual and biliterate, and yours...  
One of my children is an OA graduate who earned a 5 on the AP Spanish exam when she was in the 8th grade.  That’s enough “progress” for me.[/quote]

NP who is a HS teacher who has OA kids every year.  The ones who went through the program from PK or K are really good at Spanish.  It seems like a successful program from my anecdotal (but many years) of experience.[/quote]
