[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I think people should think about the coherent future of a dual language program where the entering students are generally not bilingual. A program like this has to be skewed toward function or ends up futile. Privileging the minority language is important. [/quote] This is something that the bilingual charters struggle with as their popularity increases. Look at Yu Ying and Stokes French posts for how much families complain about the quality of the language program because there aren’t sufficient native speakers. A by-right bilingual school HAS to have a language preference in early grades to let in OOB families and sufficient dominant families, or it will be impossible to maintain the quality of the program.[/quote]
