[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at a feeder.  Although it was great when the kids were young, it seems more and more like they are ignoring the needs of children who are not outright failing.[/quote]

Not all feeders seem to be created equal...[/quote]

My concern is that this is a feeder that is considered good.  If the good feeders aren't ensuring the needs of successful students aren't being met, how can DCI?  Moreover, is DCI actually trying?  I'm not trolling.  I desperately want to know the answer to these questions before we make serious decisions.[/quote]

Please define the "needs of successful students." PARRC scores of 4s and 5s for both reading and math across the board? Fluency in the target language by 5th grade?

Put your faith in DCI for the education of an academically advanced or fully bilingual student (in English and one of the DCI target languages) and don't be surprised if the joke is on your family eventually. Why trust a public charter board blithely ignoring the academic literature on what works in language immersion studies for young people? The leadership won't even allow native speakers FARMs students to test in to replace dropouts at this city's ES immersion charters, a basic concession to both fairness and best educational practices.

I want to know how they get away with it year after year, using hundreds of millions in tax payers money to support one-way immersion by design.  Somebody's about to post, it's all Congress' fault, for the way they wrote federal charter law.  Total BS. [/quote]
