[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the other consideration is that Burroughs is in "modular units" (aka trailers) for the next, what, two years? Having an actual building at Stokes would also help sway my decision. [b]We know kids who transferred from non-immersion schools into Stokes in later grades and ended up doing ok[/b].[/quote] I think people pick Stokes for the community not the language instruction, which to be real isn’t that great. I’m a native speaker and am shocked at the number of kids who can’t really speak Spanish after being at Stokes since PreK. [/quote] I disagree. At least 80% of the parents in my kid's Stokes class were very interested in the language aspect of the school, and about half of the families speak that language to some extent at home. I'm not saying that Stokes students have a fluent grasp of the language, but the language component was definitely important to families.[/quote]
