[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many low income kids are not even on grade level in ELA. Why would you put them in an immersion program in another language when they can’t even get English proficiency? Also immersion program in preK has zero English and later 50% less ELA. Immersion is a niche and an option. It’s best suited for kids who are higher performing or are at least proficient in ELA. Above is why immersion is not as popular with lower SES. Also they can’t support or supplement either if child is struggling in the language.[/quote] At my kid’s school, 50% of the population was Spanish dominant, so delivering content like math in Spanish was a plus for kids who were behind.
