[quote=Anonymous]I predict changes to the charter language immersion paradigm (few native speakers in most of the programs, admins not necessarily speaking the target language, bilingual kids not allowed to test in to replace dropouts etc.) once several years worth of DCI kids have applied to college. This won't happen for 7 or 8 years. I predict that many parents are going to complain when too many of the DCI seniors don't do as well on either International Baccalaureate exams (graded in Geneva) or SAT II subject tests as expected. DC Charter is putting too much emphasis on equality/access to these programs and not enough on high standards in target language instruction and learning. We're lacking an acid test for quality for the time being because language learners aren't taking national standardized tests yet. The problems begin in PS3 and not because instruction is 100% in the target language. [/quote]
