[quote=Anonymous]We're at a different local county in dual immersion, but I'm sure they're the same in MCPS. Our dual immersion classrooms have the top grades in every grade. They test the highest. This was a really big side benefit that we didn't even know about prior. Likely because all the parents are very involved in their kids' educations and had to do more to get them in, so the pool is more heavily weighted towards parents caring. Additionally, we haven't had one single out of control kid in the class versus my other kids' K classroom was evacuated weekly.

Ours also separated the kids into two classrooms based on their home language. Classroom A was Spanish speakers (some did not speak English), Classroom B was English speakers at home. Not sure if they do that throughout elementary or if that was just for K. It was helpful though because all the English speakers started out at 0 Spanish skills on day 1 and the teacher was able to work with them all at the same level.

I have one kid in dual immersion and one kid in regular. Dual immersion has just been incredible and we wish our other kid had been accepted. Just a much more enjoyable K experience.[/quote]
