[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI has never claimed to be immersion.

You clearly are not a DCI or Stokes parent if you are maintaining that only 2-3% of families in the French track speak French at home.  In the class of Stokes kids who were my kid's cohort, there were at least 3 French speaking parents out of the only 20 in the class.  That is not 2-3%.[/quote]

We know all about French at Stokes and DCI. There are more French-speaking parents than kids at Stokes. A good many of the French-speaking parents aren't trying to raise the kids bilingual. Their commitment to bilingualism is weak. If don't speak French fluently and don't talk to "native speakers" at Stokes, you don't know how good the kids' French is. There simply aren't high standards for speaking, reading and writing French at Stokes or DCI.  Not even close. If you're looking for serious public school French, you need to look to the burbs.  A small number of DCI families do take French instruction seriously.  [/quote]
