[quote=Anonymous]Another happy CGES parent here, but I don't think the school is perfect. It is huge as far as an elemtnary school goes with 850 stduents. I know there are larger elementary schools in MCPS, but 850 kids ages K-5 is mind-boggling. From my understanding, there has been some drama with the lunch periods this year and it seems to span grades. The school has 6 lunch periods, beginning around 11:00 AM and the last one begins around 1:30 PM). My kids haven't commented on it much, but do say that there are mandatory quiet times and "that" isn't fun. I hear other parents talking and ask my kids for their take on it.

I do like the principal very much. She is (quoting my kids) "totally awesome."

I know several families in the immersion program. My take on immersion in ANY language is that you need to be able to support it at home. If you can't and your child is struggling in that area, is it due to an issue through which she is learning the subject (in this case, Chinese) or is it due to the subject itself (i.e., not understanding the math concept)? Contrary to 17:43, the kids I know in CI are all good kids with great parents.
