[quote=Anonymous]The tracking thing has always bothered me: 1) If their charter is Chinese immersion, then how are they getting away with non-Chinese immersion? 2) Many people on these boards have referenced the fact that test scores for bilingual students in general tend to be lower in the ES grades, and then these students catch up and surpass their peers in MS and HS. So YY tracking the poor performers away from Chinese seems to demonstrate a lack of faith in the bilingual model, as these kids are being deprived of the long-term benefit of a bilingual education. It seems to me that the school is yelling "fire" too quickly.[/quote]
