[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a big difference in commutes.  For me, the walk might make the difference.

But I think your level of desire for bilingual ed is also important.  Personally I don't see it as viable long-term, unless the child has a native speaker at home.  By your phrasing, it sounds like you might not actually be native speakers?

On the flip side, my understanding is that DCI is more viable for middle school options right now, which is important too.  I'd want to take the long-term view and really investigate how the upper grades are at ITS and DCI and whether either of them will really be a place you want for jr high.  It seems to me that a lot of these charter schools kind of peter out in the upper grades, in terms of instructional content that starts to be much more important as you get closer to HS (eg math).

We are not native speakers but are both strong Spanish speakers.

Good point on upper elementary grades and MS/HS comparisons. It's very easy to take the short term view. [/quote]
