[quote=Anonymous]We visited half a dozen immersion PS immersion programs over the winter, the most popular charters + DCPS programs. We observed classes in session and walked around. We discovered that Sela and Yu Ying aren't true immersion programs, not in the way the Spanish programs are. The kids don't speak the language being taught on the playground, in hallways, the cafeteria etc. They speak it in response to teachers asking questions, or in making prepared presentations. FYI, OP in the Spanish programs, you hear the language outside classroom settings a lot, particularly at Oyster. If you're mainly looking for a solid PreS-12th grade path YY will work great as long as you don't mind that half the families aren't too serious about the language or cultural aspects. SOunds like you wouldn't. I'd go for it. [/quote]
