You do not seem to understand the DC charter school system at all.[/quote]

The problem is that I do understand it, all too well.  I'm on the board of directors of a DC charter, resigning shortly because I'm not on board with their policy of celebrating Apartheid education (the franchise is happy supporting and creating schools that aren't diverse).

One-way immersion is too far from best practices for me to cheer about it, or claim that it's the best we can or should do in this city outside of Oyster.  You cheer if that works for you, but I can't see how your kids will accrue the benefit.  Why let MoCo and NoVa walk away with the local academic edge as far as the eye can see?

Are those MoCo and NoVa schools you reference Charter Schools?  If not, they are not relevant.  Like NoVa and MoCo, DCPS allows dual lotteries for their immersion schools.[/quote]

I wish they weren't relevant.  Kids learn immersion Chinese in those suburban schools and, one day, they will be taking the very same AP, SAT II and IB Diploma Chinese language exams as DCI Mandarin-track students.
