[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, crabs in a bucket because we see easily identifiable problems.  DCI is just OK. Tracking junior and senior years in HS is much too little too late at DCI. The program suffers from tossing kids who work one, two, even three grade levels behind in middle school into the very same academic classes with kids who work one, two, even three grade levels ahead.

Students don't truly take over a third of their classes in another language because few can speak, read, write or understand nearly well enough for that to be true, especially for French and Chinese. The result is that a good deal of English creeps into the classes supposedly in another language, and much of the content gets lost in the language of instruction for most of the students. Sorry, but it all sounds much better than it is. [/quote]

I posted a few pages back....

Yes, truth to this. Kids who struggle are in class w/advanced students. Many students in immersion electives can't really cope w/ms level subject material. They aren't fluent and content gets dumbed down. Admins and parents ride with the problems./[/quote]
