[quote=Anonymous]This hater/troll parent has seen how the problems for advanced DCI students start years before DCI.

Feeder students ready to learn above-grade level math aren't taught it at school. English instruction is v. uneven.

All feeder students are given good grades for speaking target languages, even where their skills are weak. Feeder admins don't want to penalize poor kids whose families can't afford to supplement. The feeders seldom offer break immersion camps. YuYing used to, but stopped after summer 2017. Feeder and DCI admins don't urge families to seek out immersion opportunities (e.g. weekend heritage programs in MoCo), don't clue families into good options, don't help them team up to travel to camps. In a nutshell, immersion programs favor high SES families, so aren't encouraged, and funds aren't raised to enable low-income families to access them.

And on and on it goes. By the time DCI students take IBD exams, they score in the 20s to mid 30s, no surprises there. I remember the parent presentation showing IB exams scores. The language scores weren't good, mostly 3s and 4s on SL, never mind 6s and 6s on HL. If you care, you avoid DCI or leave for HS. Those are your options.[/quote]
