[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A better idea is to continue to open dual language schools, both charter and DCPS. The demand isn't going away. There's no reason to mess with programs that are successful, just keep trying to copy them.[/quote] No such thing as charter dual language schools in DC if you're talking about two-way immersion, aka dual immersion. DC's charter "immersion" schools run single lotteries for admission, and don't track how many bilingual kids they attract and retain. As a result, the most popular charter "immersion" schools mostly admit mono-lingual high SES AA and white kids, e.g. Washington YuYing, where only 1-2% of the students are thought to speak Chinese at home at least half the time, and the FARMs rate has fallen from half into the single digits over a ten-year period. No joke. [/quote]
