[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they are handling it wonderfully.  I actually think kids do better when they start earlier, and all this is doing is increasing the early starts for that cohorts.  Fewer kindergartners without spanish exposure is great for everyone.

They also added more teachers to the upper grades, which must be costly, but a very good move.[/quote]

That is not how I read the notice.  they are cutting teachers for the rising 3rd and 4th, increasing class size.  they say this will let them hire special ed and support people but they didn't say how many, and I think strong teachers and small classes is the palce to start.[/quote]

A family like ours is coming from a DCPS Spanish immersion school.  Our child is well prepared to start K.[/quote]

Of course some are, but you can't just pick those who have had prior experience.  That isn't how it works.[/quote]

I know that's not how it works. Lamb once tried it and failed. I was just pointing out that there are some families such as mine enrolling at the K level with prior Spanish exposure.[/quote]

Of course, but there are many who enroll later with no exposure.  No one is knocking your kid.  It isn't a personal thing.[/quote]
