[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does it matter if a child achieved native fluency at daycare vs. home? Is there a rule against this?[/quote] Yes, per OA's guidelines, a Spanish-dominant child is supposed to come from a Spanish speaking home. A child who is Spanish dominant will have, and be able to model, vocabulary that an English-dominant child who is bilingual simply cannot. And that child can/will provide a cultural context for the language as well. This is important to understand b/c Monica says that there are too many English-dominant children in the lower grades at OA. Well, a bilingual English-dominant child is still English dominant, thus compounding the language balance problem. She can solve a big part of the problem by doing her job and eliminating lottery cheats.[/quote]
