[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's not true.  Language immersion is available in DCPS.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, 12:48, you have a lovely, yet entirely selfish response.

It's easy for me to recognize this because your family resembles mine. Listen to yourself. You want a free Hebrew language option because, among other things, the tuition at day schools is high. Seriously? You think that a Hebrew language immersion school is important in DC because...wait for it...it's preferable for your family and saves you money.

Have you learned nothing at all at your shul?

Let's ignore your foolishness about liking Danish cinema as being a good reason for Hebrew immersion. It just makes you sound crazier.

Good grief.[/quote]

Wow, what an utter a**hole! Tell, me if there were no charter schools, how many of you would be in private schools? EXACTLY. Green-focused, Afro-centric, arts-based, project-based, Mandrin-based, Spanish-based, Hebrew-based. All of it is important and useful and all of it is waste of time not useful. Charters are an attempt to create public schools with unique approaches akin to private schools. People get choices and they can act on these choices. How many people who can afford private day care park their kids in pre-K taking up valuable spots from poor families? Or crucify charters for being any farther out than Dupont Circle. Neither of these choices are less "selfish" than any charter school out there with its quasi-private themes - including SELA. [/quote]

One thing I don't follow: how is Sela quasi-private?[/quote]

All of these immersion schools, and most other charters are "quasi-private" in their concept  in the sense that they take a concept that was previously available only as Lycée Rochambeau, or Washington International, etc. and make it available to public school students. I think that this a great thing.[/quote][/quote]

These DCPS programs are all pretty new - and came about with the advent of charters. [/quote]
