[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one of the problems may have been the large influx of non-bilingual kids in the higher grades.  I think that the school is trying to prevent a recurrence of this issue by concentrating the growth in the lower grades.  That is not to say that no kids will be admitted in higher grades, as that isn't financially feasible at this point, but whole new classes will not be added in those grades.  I believe they found that integrating too many new children in these years was hard, as the new kids tend to group together and not immerse as well.  The hope is that the same dynamic would not occur if there were just a few new students in these grades.[/quote]

Yes, I agree. Part of the problem is that some of the newer kids in the older grades don't speak Spanish; I would act out too if I was confused 50% of the time.  But also, MV has the same issue as other high demand charters (at least what friends at other schools have reported to me) in that the older classes tend to have new students join that already have been at at least one but in some cases 2 or 3 schools.  I believe these dynamics have to affect behavior.  [/quote]
